Program/Plugin that Makes Image Text Selectable

Howdy,

Does anyone know of a way to make text selectable from a flat .pdf file? I’m assuming the person just made a .psd file, flattened it, and turned it into a .pdf.

Maybe a plugin for Adobe or an option I’m missing…

Thanks!

This might be of some use. I've never used it before, but I can't think of any other method of getting text out of a flat image.

This worked great, didn't get the the cursive font headers, but got the important stuff. Thanks :D

No problem! Glad it helped.
