How to automate OCR?

Question

We need to OCR hundreds of document scans and love the quality of the Acrobat DC since we need not only the text, but also the word-coordinates, font information and even text color.

1) Is there a way to access the Acrobat technology programatically (e.g. cloud api, sdk) or if not:
2) Is there any alternative product that provides this information and achieves comparable quality?

Acrobat: Please make your great technology available not only for end users through your UI, but also for programmers through APIs or SDKs. We would love to pay for it

Acrobat's really not the tool for you. It's a low volume end user tool with limited automation. Look for a product (not from Adobe) designed for volumes, you'll be much happier.

There is a huge and powerful Acrobat SDK, but it doesn't touch on your requirements.
