Scanned Images not Searchable in Apple Notes #1

Script works great and PDFs go into apple notes - THANKS But running into this issue with the scanned notes: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-notes-search-in-pdfs-from-scanner-not-working.2373987/

Workaround is to open every scanned document in preview, save it and import the newly saved PDF. Not it indexes it. Is there any possibility to add this functionality to your script? Using scansnap as my scanner but it does seem to scan and not just capture it as an image.

I’m using ExactScan Pro and it OCRs when I scan, so I probably won’t be adding any steps to the script, but anyone is welcome to take the code and modify it. Sounds like maybe there is an issue with the scansnap software? Just a guess.

Best regards, Ethan

Thanks for the advice. What scanning hardware are you using?
