Hi seamusdoone,

Converting to a jpg is a bad move. Not only does this move you one step further away from the original, but the jpg format uses 'lossy' compression, meaning that it throws away some of the data you'd need for a reliable OCR conversion. Go back to the PDF an work with that, directly. If you can post a copy of the PDF here, I'll take a look at it and tell you what can be done.
