Thanks, Albert. I have downloaded the trial, but having troubles getting the registered DLL to load in VFP. I've contacted support and will see what they say. As for implementation, assuming I can get the ActiveX component to load, the simplicity of the sample code looks great.

>There is a decent company from Montreal that makes PDF products - including an OCR module. I have integrated the PDF "creator" product into an app and it was quite good. Support is also fast (which is also nice). The documentation is a bit "light" but I have found that support usually points me in the right direction. Pricing is reasonable (usually $600 per developer). If you go ahead with them, tell them that I recommended them to you (not that I get anything back from them, I have just talked to them on the phone on and off over 10 years). FYI, some of the big life insurance companies up here integrate their stuff into their end-user broker products which is how I found out about them.

>>I'm looking for a way to OCR existing documents in a VFP system before exporting to a document manager. The files are stored in a windows folder, so could be handled in a variety of ways. I already use iTextSharp to fill pdf forms and have Debenu Quick PDF, but neither of those tools seem to do OCR. The Document Management company wants to charge $2500 up front and $500 annually for a watch folder setup. I'm looking for a program with no continuing fee that could be fired programmatically.
