Search for PDFs that have not been OCR'd
Is there a way to search PDFs and indicate which ones have not been OCR'd

Hello, ragkag
In PDF-Tools, the "OCR pages" action offers a checkbox to skip documents which contain text objects. While this is not a catch all (for example, it would skip a scanned document that has had 1 page inserted which contains base some content text) it is able to avoid reprocessing documents that do already have text in place. Kind regards,

Hello ragkag,
It should, however please try with e.g. 1000-2000 files at a time, so in case anything happens - you do not need to wait for Tools to process all 20 000 files to see there are some errors.
Kind regards,
Stefan
