Batch jpg to pdf to ms word

[SychevKA]

Hello forum!
I need help (sorry for my English)
I need a script that makes several moves:
1. user chooses a folder
2. create PDF from JPG ( from full path )
3. save as MS Word ( with options: OCR false, Comments false )
4. close PDF without saving

I'm not a newbie but i never developed for Acrobat.
Please help me with my simple task.
Thanks!

function get_files(path){
	var folder = Folder(path).getFiles()
	for(var i = 0; i < folder.length; i++){
		if(File(folder[i]).constructor.name == 'Folder'){get_files(folder[i])}
		else{
			var f = File(folder[i]).fsName
			if(f.split('.').slice(-1)[0].toLowerCase() == 'jpg'){
				files[f.split('\\').slice(-1)[0].split('.').slice(0,-1).join('.')] = f
			}
		}
	}
}
var path = Folder.selectDialog('')
if(path != null){
	var files = {}
	get_files(path)
	for(k in files){
		
		// here k is filename without extension
		// files[k] is fullpath
		
		createPDF()
		saveasMSWord()
		closePDF()

	}
}

Why want you use the detour over PDF?

[try67]

To perform OCR, most likely...

[try67]

Although I'm seeing now they want to specify OCR as false, so yeah, it is a bit strange...

[SychevKA]

If we can do it without creating a PDF, that's great

[try67]

I think you should be able to do it with an Action in Acrobat Pro. You don't need any scripts, though.

Just create a new Action and add to it a command to run Text Recognition and then a Save As and change the export type to Word. Run it on your files and it will convert all non-PDFs files to PDF first, and then perform the other commands on them.

Yes it worked, but I have subfolders...

[try67]

If you select the parent folder as the starting point of the Action it will process all sub-folders, too.

[SychevKA]

Yes, but files are saved in the selected folder.

The Action Wizard works this way.
