Trudy,
There are a number of conversion tools available that allow for conversion
between .tif and .pdf. However, if any "full text search" need is
anticipated in the future, I would opt for an initial OCR, OR for an initial
conversion to a searchable .pdf. Given that, I would not recommend using
OCR and full text search as a replacement for a good index for the
documents, although I've seen some prospects and customers who seem to THINK
of that as a good idea.

Subject: [RM] Question on Imaging
Since for the past 6 yrs I have been rather inactive in the records
management field I have a lot of catching up to do in the document
imaging/scanning
arena.
My question is:
Can documents that are scanned into a pdf format, later be OCR'd and
converted to tiff? Or do they have to be ocr'd at the time of the initial
scan?
Thanks
