Let's say you only need this for a month? Then the rental should be less costly than the outright purchase.
However, the error rate on OCR on a good page is still going to have 1 incorrect character. I take it you know this from your prior OCR work.
If this is mission critical, watch the Adobe tutorial at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-acrobat-x/recognizing-text-in-scanned-pdf-documents/

Which is best? Export Adobe OCR scan online (on Annual cost basis) to switch to read/write text doc, or purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 (for my existing Mac system)?
