Hi,

how can I identify, if a PDF document was scanned with OCR ?  I can try to search  for anything... But is there a  PDF property for that ?

Thanks, Michel

Are you trying to identify an OCRed file vs. a non-OCRed one? Because if so then you can check the number of words in it. If it's zero, it most likely haven't been OCRed, and vice versa.

There is no property for this.
