I am looking for a Javascript example that executes OCR on a scanned document. I am having trouble finding the document methods that perform that and other Acrobat actions on a PDF document.

Thanks

Yes, but this is a setting that is well hidden (and not available for PNG and JPEG formats):

Is it ever lol, but it also appears it can be set for many file formats other than tiff. Thanks again!

It appeared under BMP scanned optimization preferrences that OCR was possible. Thoughts?

Ah, well that adds to my education.

As a Mac user, BMP are kinda irrelevant so I'd not have thought to even look to see what options they provide. So my bad.

So yes, TIFs and BMPs (the latter for the PC inclined :>))

Thank you!

Hi rjabend,

I am sorry but I do not do any scripting so I cannot answer your question. HOWEVER, if you scan a document and save it as a png, or jpg, after converting that document to a PDF, you then have to go do an extra step to do the OCR process. On the other hand, if you save that document as a TIF, when opening that document in Acrobat, it will convert the document to a PDF AND also self-initiate the OCR process.

Just a small tip that might help you.
