Degradation of PDF quality by Adobe 8 OCR

We've recently upgraded to Adobe Professional 8 to convert
our e-reserves
and we are seeing a significant degradation in the quality
of the fonts
after the OCR process (this seems counter-intuitive to me).


 

I've found only a few mentions of this issue, and no
solutions.  Has anyone
already slain this beast? Or suggestion of where I might
look for a knight
with a big sword.

 

Help with either my problems (searchable PDFs or
predilection for
ill-thought-out extended metaphors) most appreciated. 

 

Thanks, Alan.
