Hello,

Sometimes when i do a search in my db i encounter a PDF taken from JStor; since the first page is always text-readable it shows up. It would be great if I could easily tell DTPO to do an OCR on an article in a find. As far as I can see now i have to use the menu command and select the article.

Thanks,  
Gerben
