OCR a whole database ?

Just got a scansnap 1300 and I’m learning the value of having OCR’d documents within DT. My problem is that I have several thousand un-OCR’d documents in my database that contains nearly 10,000 items. Is there a way to run a batch OCR on the whole database so that I can be sure everything is OCR’d?

Thanks
Jim

You could find all not yet OCRed documents via Data > New From Template > Smart Groups > PDFs (not searchable), select the results of the smart group and OCR them via Data > Convert > To Searchable PDF.

That worked great. Thanks!
