>A colleague and I have been searching and testing various technology

>file format. So far, we have found several tools that will use OCR 

>in the conversion process, but it seems it still recognizes the 

>handwriting as an image. This is also happening in my Adobe Acrobat 

>Pro account; it labels them as "figures."

>Does anyone have any recommendations for a tool that can do this 

>correctly? We are coming up short.

>We would also appreciate some insight into how other institutions 

>are handling this. Tips, best practices, etc. are welcome.
