Hi All,

I am using Adobe Pro 7.
I need to process a large amount of PDF files and save text extraction to plain text file. The problem was that if the PDF wasn't OCRed then nothing would be saved to the text file. I got the other part working except the OCR.

Is there a method in the object model like pdfDoc.ocr()? I might be able to use the exeMenuItem, but then it will open the dialog which I didn't really want.

Any help will be really appreciated!

Thanks,
Brian
