Converting PDF to PDF Text in Batch

Hello Adobe world...

Was looking for some quick guidance regarding the need to run existing PDFs
through a process to automatically extract text via the Adobe OCR engine. Is
this capability included with Acrobat or do I need to go to 3rd party?

Any assistance would be great.

Thanks,

Are these PDFs which already contain text, or are they PDF files
created with simple scanning?  Most PDF files do not need OCR.

Good morning Russ. Thanks for posting your message here. I thought I was the
only one in the universe who had the same question!

I am in Exactly The Same Position as you are, in that I have over 2000 documents
that have been scanned as .pdf documents, using Adobe Acrobat 5.0. My team at
the United Nations would like to be able to search the body (text) of these
documents, and we've just received the Acrobat Capture 3.0 Program, in order to
do so, using 'OCR'.

However, we have no idea how to do this. Is there anyone out there who can
help?

My email is Riegelman@un.org, and my office number is (917) 367-9186 (UN
Secretariat, DPKO).

Thank you very much,
