Tracking progress

[MymsMan]

I am new to PDF-tools so I may be missing the obvious.

I am trying to OCR scan a folder full of pdf documents and while I cam see (Recognizing page x of y) at the top of the screen it doesn't tell me in which file it is detecting!

Also output files are not copied to the the output directory until the end of batch so I cant tell from that how many files have been processed.

I am a bit worried that there appears to be no easy way to pause/resume a large batch or to recover from a crash without restarting from the begining

Hello MymsMan

Thank you for your post. I have just checked and this does appear to be the case. I have added a feature request for more indication to be added.

Thank you for reporting this.

Cheers!

Similarly, when converting images to live PDFs - only "Create PDF from Images: %full path to image%" is displayed - there is not the slightest understanding of how many more hours to wait?

Hello Jensen Head,

Thanks for adding this here!
I am sure that our devs will take both into account and will try to clarify the progress information on both of these (and other) processes run in PDF Tools!

Kind regards,
Stefan

no easy way to pause/resume a large batch

In the last six months, PDF-Tools has added the ability to pause the process. I didn't find it in PDF-XChange Editor Version History, but it's there now, and for that I say thankee-sais!
