Notes:

During the install process the software checks to make sure your system meets these minimum requirements. If you do not meet the requirements, the software will not be installed.

Performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer's processor, memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements. This is especially true when converting very large color PDF files. OmniPage has been specifically engineered to take advantage of multi-core processors.
