5 years ago There is no way to be sure that a PDF document is scanned or searchable. For PDF format both are documents and both have text inside.
If you can provide any algorithm, technique or whatever to identify a scanned PDF document, we'll include this feature in the addon.

5 years ago Hello, there is one simple javascript for know if pdf containt already ocr or not 👍
var transformedPdfFolder = space.createFolder("_temp_txtfolder"); var transformedPdfFile = document.transformDocument("text/plain", transformedPdfFolder)
if (transformedPdfFile.content.match(/./)) (don t do extract OCR) else do it.
I would like to do this on folder, actually, i do the javascript if not ocr move on folder then do the ocr and the doc back on the first folder.
It s not perfect. If you have a better solution.

BUG: OCR (PDFSandwich) is getting executed for Searchable Documents (PDF) as well.
Expected behavior: OCR should not process documents already containing text or searchable file.
Actual behavior: OCR is getting executed for Searchable Documents as well.
Steps to reproduce the behavior: Uploaded text containing PDF files which is also being processed for OCR.
Please help me on this.
