OCR Batchprocessing

Post by Pascal.K »

Hi @ all,

We are currently looking for a solution to automatically run PDF documents through OCR and save the text in a separate file.
Since we use PDF Xchange Editor and PDFXChange Pro, we would like to use them to automatically check a defined folder for PDFs and then process them as soon as a new document arrives and write the recognized text to a WORD, txt, or CSV file.

Is there any chance to do this?

I thought there must be a command line switch like /ocr or something else, but it didn`t seems so.

Hi Pascal, if you have a license for PDF-XChange PRO - that includes PDF-Tools and you can use the folder monitors for that purpose:
