[TriLUG] More linux pdf questions

Hello:

I'm working to script some processes at work and have come across a
problem creating pdfs from tiff images.  I can easily do it with
'convert' from imagemagick, but this yields an image pdf rather than a
text pdf which means one can't search it, select text, or full-text
index the pdf.  I was wondering if anyone has any advice about how to
integrate ocr into the process.  Alternately, I've been given a copy of
Acrobat 7 Pro, but it doesn't seem to have a scriptable API.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jim
