That's exactly the problem.
...in that case you will not be able to do anything but use an OCR program.
I totally agree.
I just vaguely hoped there already was a free program about somewhere that would do OCR directly on a graphics-based PDF, even if less-than-perfect...
I have done this before with Omnipage and that works quite well but it is not a one-click fix (mind you, there is no one-click solution for this!).
My main question about Omnipage is really, whether it will open the PDF and OCR it, or whether I will have to print all, scan all and OCR it. If I can use Omnipage to open the PDF, click and click and click, and end up with at least a .TXT file at the other end, I'll get it.
If you're still stuck with this next week I could try to find the time to run it through my Omnipage version.
If you would, I'd be most grateful.
As I said, a basic text version, even with all the OCR "typos", would be a real help.
