I have many documents that are basically printout PDF that I need to covert to editable PDFs. I can do this manually using Acrobat DC. Hower I have several hundred PDFs and its labor intensive to do it. Is there a command line, API or action script to make DC convert a image PDF to an editable PDF?

Any help is greatly appreciated

‌In Acrobat Pro you can use the Action Wizard.

Look for "Optimize Scanned Documents" in the Action Wizard of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.
