Hi - I am using the Automator to convert a scanned PDF into a Windows for Mac Document (I need to cut and paste from the PDF) . If I receive a scanned PDF (using Brokers MFC-848DN Scanner) copy via email from a PC user, I can use the Automator and it creates a RTF, so I can now cut and paste. However, if I try to scan the papers myself (using Brothers MFC-848DN) it creates a huge PDF file and then when I use the Automator there is no TEXT , nothing , empty....


Can Anyone help me?
