Have you ever received a PDF file that did not contain searchable text? You may know that you can use Acrobat’s OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to add an invisible layer of searchable text on top of the file. This allows you to select, copy and search text on a paper document. Great!What do you do when you have hundreds of TIFFs and Image-only PDFs file that you need to search for a big case? Working with these documents one at a time is not efficient.If you have Acrobat Professional, you can batch OCR and let you computer do the work for you.NOTE: Acrobat 9 and up make this process much easier. Simply select DocumentOCR Text RecognitionOCR Multiple Files. If you have Acrobat 9 and you just want to OCR a bunch of files, this is probably all you need!
Acrobat X can do OCR as part of an Action, so you can combine OCR with other operations as part of a document processing workflow.Read on to learn howBatch Processing to the RescueThere are two steps to follow:.

I have a question for you regarding batch processing of OCR. I am trying to convert a large group of.pdf files to searchable.pdf. However when i follow the batch processing steps that you outline here the software still makes me hit ok after each document is processed. Is there anyway to have it automatically convert all 20,000 files w/o pressing ok 20,000 times?————Rick’s ReplyYou don’t want to use the instructions from this article since it only applies to PDF Portfolios. Instead, use the instructions here. This is great stuff. Do you know of a way to take the same process as described in your article except make it so that any pdf which makes it’s way into a “monitored folder” is automatically added with an OCR layer?Example might make this clearer.
