Tesseract is the OCR package to use. I've had good success using it for a health-information application. It does a really good and accurate job on numbers (like dates and record numbers) even with a variety of fonts.
You may find it helpful to put an alarm around your tesseract runs. I've found some particularly nasty pages on which it hangs.
