find non-searchable PDF (images)

[TimoJ25]

I have several thousands PDF. Some of them contain searchable text (OCR), some are converted Word-Documents (searchable) and some are scanned images.

How can I find (and copy to another folder) only the non-searchable "scanned image PDF's" ?

In Acrobat Reader use File > Save as Other > Text...

When the text file is empty then there is no text in the PDF file.

@Bernd: I can't see how that could help me to find the image PDF's in thousands of PDF's?
I'm looking for a batch process, otherwise I have to open all PDF by hand.

Not possible with Acrobat Reader.

That's a different story... In that case you can use an Action that checks the number of words in each file. If the number is zero it can output the file's path to the console window.

It's a technique a programmer could use. There isn't an out-of-the-box solution.
