Can I schedule a batch of files PDF OCR?

I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. I want to schedule a batch process (for example, to run every day at 2:00), to browse a large directory tree, find new PDF files (for example, those created since the last scan, or in the last 24 hours) and process them using OCR in Acrobat. I know how to do OCR processing manually; what I would like is to have done: (1) automatically at a scheduled time and (2) only the new files, to avoid old files OCRing several times. Is this feasible?

You're right: Acrobat can not be used unattended and offers no tools to help with this.

  • How can I batch 300 k than files PDF OCR or optimize them without having to open each file in the Acrobat user interface?

    The Adobe user interface is REALLY slow batch when a very large number of files of treatment.  However, the Adobe OCR tools are extremely good to process the documents I have.  Is there anyway to use technologies Adobe do this batch that does not require the Acrobat user interface for each file?

    Acrobat is an interactive tool, with very low volume automation tools. Your expectations are thousands of times too high. You are looking for a tool designed for industrial use of volume. These tools are often not user interface, maybe just a command line.

  • batch TIFF to PDF OCR

    Hi, I'm looking batch of about 80 000 images of individual TIFF documents in separate OCR searchable PDF documents.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Joe

    You can use Adobe Acrobat for that. It is characteristic «Recognize text in multiple files» You can add folders of files and/or folders to perform OCR on it.

    Go to tools > improve scans > 'Or recognize text in multiple files' > add files (now select as many files of any kind you want)

    If any PDF is already open

    Go to tools > improve scans > recognize text > in several files > add files (now select as many files of any kind you want)

    These steps are also for Acrobat DC, for earlier versions of Acrobat, naming convention is quite different.

    Hope it will solve your problem. Please feel free to ask anything you want.

    Thank you.

  • How to fix incorrectly file pdf OCR'ed?

    The builtin OCR in Acrobat Profession can does not always correctly identify the words in a pdf document. I wonder how to correct these mistakes from OCR.

    For example, 'of' is incorrectly resulting as "JO." If I search for 'of', I will not get it. I want to change the pdf file so that the 'of' is available.

    Editing properties dialog box:
    With the Touchup text tool, the cursor becomes a form of "I-beam".
    Select some content or to get a vertical line blinking cursor.
    Right click the mouse to open the context menu of the tool.
    At the bottom, select "Properties"... "to open the Properties Editor dialog box.
    The dialog box has four tabs: content, Tag, text, and color. The text tab is shown by default.
    The text tab provides related information policies.
    Note that Bill is correct - OCR output indexable or searchable Image (exact) is usually a font that can be associated with a system font (Times, Helvetica, Roman & variations of these). The rendering mode is such that the characters are invisible (hidden).
    (Good to know, is there a preflight check that can search / identify characters who use this rendering mode.)
    While in the text tab, you can change a system font, change the font size and other related features.

    To remove the release of OCR:
    Feature 'Examining the Document' use Acrobat Pro to remove the invisible text (hidden) produced by OCR.
    Yes, you are right, if it is done that the image remains.

    OCR and equations/symbols:
    Yes, it can be problematic.
    Kind of remastering of the source content with a creation application you may have to accept that provides some OCR.

    At the end of the day - edit of OCR output can be knotty. ClearScan facilitates; but, if 'clean up' extra is needed, this can become require a lot of resources.
    What are 'wants' of the deliverable from the 'needs' & the 'why' of each.
    What are the resources in hand?
    OCR is, good OCR. Textual content systematic peut/don't come out pretty well. Any other content, not so good. "Clean up" can become an aggravating experience fairly quickly.
    FWIW - when the need arises, I found that it is more effective to remaster scanned content technical rather than try OCR output 'clean up '.

  • I need to adjust the dpi when batch exporting a PDF file in format TIFF, Acrobat Pro

    Hi all

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use action tool export batch than several (approx. 425 individual pdf) pdf to TIFF format files. My problem is the resulting TIFF images are of low resolution, and I do not know how to set the export settings to get Adobe to export it to 600 dpi or more.

    If I jump the batch and each pdf file manually I can actually adjust the settings to 600 dpi, but I have too many files to do it manually. Also, if I use the feature to "combine files", bring all within a multi-page pdf, then export to TIFF: I can set it to 600 dpi, but then each file exported with a different file name. Example: "MAP5" gets exported as 'Page x of x' so I would rename of 425 files to their original file name.

    Thanks in advance for your time and your help.

    In the category 'Convert to PDF' of preferences, you can specify the resolution.

    Hi William,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Batch file is a type of script file, a text file, containing a series of commands to be executed by the command prompt. When you run a batch file, it opens the command prompt to run the scripts.

    It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

    1. what happens when you try to run a batch file?

    2 are. what batch file you referring?

    3. the problem occurs for a particular batch file?

    First of all, I suggest you to check the commands written in a batch file. To do the same thing, just right-click on the batch file, and then click change. It will open Notepad with the list of orders scripted for this particular batch file.

    If you have additional questions on the computer, please ask your question about Windows and we will be happy to help you.

  • How can I remove a hyperlink to a PDF file in the drop of hyperlinks.

    Muse, I created a hyperlink to a PDF file on my computer that has downloaded the PDF on my server.

    I have now disconnected the link and no longer wish to use the PDF file.

    However, the link to the PDF document remains an option in the drop of hyperlink.

    So now when I try to download from another server, the PDF file is included in the download, even if there is no active hyperlinks to the PDF document.

    It's a big PDF and I need to exclude it.

    How can I remove the link to the PDF of the drop hyperlinks?

    Search for the file in your 'Assets' Panel and click on the thrash at the bottom of this Panel. If it is grayed out, your PDF is still in use

    Hey Paul, welcome to the forums of Palm.

    Your Verizon Pre Plus runs a mobile operating system called webOS HP/Palm.  The current version is the 1.4.5.  The phone can connect to a Microsoft Exchange Enterprise Server.  When this happens, it uses a timing called "Exchange Active Sync" technology, but your phone does not have the operating system Windows Mobile or Windows Phone.

    Synchronization of Microsoft Office and PDF documents from sort of an adventure the Pre debuted more than 18 months ago.

    DataViz, the application of the notice of Doc officials, was partially acquired by RIM, the fact of BlackBerry and decided to not release a full version of Documents To Go for webOS devices.  Palm in collaboration with manufacturers of QuickOffice to provide the full support of the office for webOS documents in the future.
