already:
- checked the version of plugin postcript and ImPDF
- tried to open PDF-Options ('Can't load plugin: "C:\programs\irfanview\Plugins\PDF.dll")
- checked there is no such plugin PDF.dll

Check your PDF plugin options. I think you need to disable the use of PDF.dll to use Ghostscript.

You will get much better results if you save images with text as PNG instead of JPG. The heavy artefacts around the text caused by JPG compression are enough to confuse the best OCR tools.

Kadmos is not great. You might find the free version of PDF-XChange Editor better. Load a PDF in there and use its OCR facility. Copy the text and paste it.
