  Larry,

  Other than our SDK product which you would have to have software development experience, FineReader Server would be the closest option. 

  1. For any particular folder, how can I identify all of the image-only PDFs, either in a highlighted list or an output file? Does ABBYY have a way to do this, or is some other program, batch file or PowerShell script that do this?

  • With FineReader Server you can set up an Audit-Workflow to get an overview of the files in a directory, including the number of documents, that may need OCR (cf. https://youtu.be/1Q2cVt4XKCE).
  • However there is no option to get a highlighted list/output file with the actual documents‘ names. 

  2. I have a list certain PDF files (but not all of the PDF files) located in a particular folder, is there a way for ABBYY Fine Reader do automatic OCR on those PDFs but not other PDFs?

  • FR Server can be configured to skip OCR for PDFs that are already searchable and also offers filter-options, so you can exclude specific formats from being processed, but I don’t know of any way to limit the processing according to a list of files unfortunately.

  For now, I'll move this post to our FineReader Server section.
