Hi,

I want to convert all Image-PDF-Files stored on my harddrive in directories and sub-directories into OCR-searchable Text-PDF-Files "on the click of one button".

It would be great if you can advise which solution(s) are capable of doing this.

Thank you very much - Georg

    Acrobat can't do it. You can run an Action the executes OCR (Text Recognition), but it will also (attempt to) convert all the files in your computer to PDF files, which is probably not what you want to happen...
