I wonder if there were a few more or longer delay in so that it does not overwhelm the application it might be more reliable. I’ve asked Smile Software to see if they could provide an updated script to replace the one that I got from Mac power users. I’m not sure if it makes any difference but my files are stored in iCloud. Unfortunately it exhibits the same performance as it will OCR 10 to 20 files and then just hang.Ĭomputers are complicated so I’m sure that there could be something on my system that is causing these problems however I don’t have any other applications the behave like this, i.e. I was really excited when the latest version of PDFpen Pro included “OCR Files” right inside the application. I don’t think it’s the PDF files from selves as I have an old version of Adobe Acrobat Pro running on a Windows machine and it’s able to OCR the files just fine. It will do several files and then just hang. So I’ve been through multiple changes of the operating system as well as new versions of PDFpen Pro. I’ve been trying off and on to get this to work for the last six years. In the past I’ve tried using the Mac Power Users script along with Hazel to call PDFpen Pro and have it OCR about 500 files. Read me thinks that DevonThink 3 may be the answer, but I have avoided that, as it seems like it will be quite an investment of time and effort to get that working well. I have the following software, ABBY Find reader for Scan Snap, DevonThink 3, PDF Element, ABBYY FineReader, Evernote, EagleFiler, OCR Wizard, PDF Expert, Keyboard Maestro, Hazel and Mac Sparky’s excellent book on going Paperless.

I am looking for help and doing bulk OCR.
