creating pdf files with Russian language texts

[Timothy D. Sergay]

The program ABBYY FineReader Pro 5.0 or later can create PDF files in
Cyrillic; the find feature works with Cyrillic. You can order FineReader
from Digital Language Corporation (http://www.digitallanguage.com/). I've
had success with scanned hard copy, after getting assistance from ABBYY's
tech support staff with installing Cyrillic Type 1 fonts into my copy of
FineReader (the PDF format evidently requires Type 1 fonts: until you have
those, every Cyrillic text you try to convert to PDF will turn to Latin
nonsense characters).
