Is there a page limit to the OCR function of Acrobat DC?

Question

I have a client that needs 1,000 of documents scanned and OCR'd but I don't want to commit if it is too much to handle.

Scanning would be separate, Acrobat would just do the OCR work.

Any info would be great.

There is no page limit.

Hi Richard,Several years ago I had probably about a thousand pages to scan and OCR. I started the process with my flatbed scanner and it was slow. Then a friend lent me his FujiScan (sorry I do not remember the model), that was FAST and could do both sides at a time. Keep in mind that as it does this, it has several options for the resolution and if you wan the best quality scans, it's fast. Lower resolutions are FAST.The FujiScan software also did OCR but I found that it was not very accurate and the PDFs were bloated. Fortunately I was able to simply run the same PDFs through Acrobat and it had much greater accuracy AND the documents were reasonable in size. The catch was that Acrobat will hog your computer so that you really can't do much of anything else. So what I did was to set it up to process pages when I went out for lunch and when I went home for the day. When I returned, the jobs were done and I was good to go.Good luck with whatever process you chose to do.
