Hi,

We've started a project to scan our old Town Reports and put them onto our 
website. I want to create them as searchable pdf files. I am able to do 
everything I want to do except crop the scanned images. I want to crop the 
images down to just the page that I'm scanning in order to eliminate the ugly 
book edges and blank areas around the edge of the book. We're using Omni Page 
Pro 14 to do this but I can't find a way to actually crop the image during 
OmniPage's 1-2-3 step scan, OCR and save process. How do others do this when 
creating searchable pdf files?
