How to add ocr pdf to address book quickly

I have many printed sheets of contacts that I need to import to address book. Other than manually typing or through the magic of ocr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition) then copying and pasting to address book, is there an easy way to input these contacts?
I've found world card mobile ( http://worldcard.penpowerinc.com/product.asp?sn=158) on the iphone where I can take photo's of the contacts and the apps ocr will correctly put about 80% of the proper information in but the phone runs out of batteries and it's about the same time as copying and pasting.
I'm wondering is there a computer version of world card that would at least put the information in the right spot and I can make just minor adjustments. Or is there a way that I can make the pdf in to an excel or numbers format and the use one of those excel to vcard apps to do it all in one shot? it's a lot of contacts, over 10k.
thanks ahead for any response.

Unless confidentiality is a concern, this is the sort of job I would outsource to an online personal assistant in India.

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

  • Mail seems to add certain contacts to Address Book automatically

    I'm not sure how it happens as I can't seem to find the option in Mail to turn it off, but it seems as though Mail wants to automatically add contacts into my Address Book.
    At least I think it's Mail. I don't think iPhone would do that, would it?
    Any idea how I can turn that off?

    If you sync multiple devices via iCloud and at the same time sync the contacts via email boxes or even several then your contacts / address book will end up in chaos. When you add contacts on a mobile device one expect to be asked to which mailbox you would like to add the contact but this is not happening i.e. the new contact is synced with all mailboxes that have the sync contacts on.
    As an example is you add a contact from your iPhone this contact is propagated via iCloud to the sync'd devices e.g. iMac and iPad and also to all the email accounts if the option sync contacts is on.
    On the other hand if you add an email account with contacts and switch the sync contacts option on you might see multiple entries of the same contact. These will disappear / 'be deleted' if you switch the sync contacts off for the  the email account.
    The best choice is keep the iCloud sync on for all devices and switch the sync of contacts of all your mail accounts off and import , cleanup duplicates off all the various contacts lists.

  • How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

    Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

    I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

    I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
    I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
    So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

    Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
    And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

  • How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly?

    How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly so that I can email a change of address?

    From the Address Book help file:
    Notify contacts when your vCard changes
    When you change your contact information, you can send a group email message to your contacts. The message contains your updated vCard and a message from you.
    1. If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
    2. Choose File > Send Updates.
    3. In the Send Updates dialog, select one or more groups to notify. If some contacts in the group have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address to use.
    4. Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send.
