Automate the OCR Process with VBA

Can you use VBA to OCR a PDF? Or do you have to manually OCR a PDF and then extract the text via VBA?


My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7 / Windows

Re: Automate the OCR Process with VBA

The OCR functionality of Acrobat is not accesible to VB directly.  You would either need to write a custom plugin to Acrobat (in C/c++) and then call that from your VB script - OR do it manually, as you note.
