Got a whole heap of documents and stuff that are taking up too much room, my plan is to scan it and save to CD for use later on. Some won't need changing so can just be printed again but others may require a tweak here and there.
Is there any software out there that actually work? I have Omnipage Pro 9 but to be honest the dogs dinner it makes of the formating I may as well type the whole thing in.

Any suggestions out there chap? Make/source/price?

Adobe Acrobat is the best I have used. Not cheap though.

I have Textbridge OCR, does a good job, although I've not used any others for a while to really compare the latest versions.
