Searchable PDF Conversion - Huge Size

[Nixi]

Just wondering what do you all use for PDF Conversion or saving as a searchable PDF file.
The PDF files I have are huge and would like to convert them to a smaller size, but searchable.
For some reason, using CutePDF, it doesn't always save as a searchable PDF file for some reason.

You want to look into "OCR" software (converts images with text in your PDF documents into actual searchable text).

I remember doing this 3 years ago with an e-book which I printed into a PDF, which wasn't searchable. The website I used was OnlineOCR.net--it only does a limited number of pages for free though. I don't know of any completely free solutions for converting a full e-book, so if you find any, let me know.
