So, so far, I have proven that you can double your parallel pipeline, use all your cores, and slow your machine down. Remember that with multiple machines, you can run at most 2 copies of one purchased licence (this applies to Creative Suite 6 and earlier, not sure what their new licence says for the “rented” version). I could get 2 decently spec’d iMacs for roughly the same price and have them both cranking on documents, or…? The original inquiry was focused on whether it made sense to purchase a mac pro to do this task. Gelbin: If you try this, please report how it went! So I think the pieces are in place: Multi-file conversion in Acrobat is easy, and running multiple instances on a many-core Mac should work. And then I individually check that the conversion succeeded (rarely the single-file procedure stalls, because Acrobat reports a problem I wonder how that is handled in the multi-file conversion if an “all-night” queue stalls in average at 1am, it would be annoying so the multi routine better not stop with a popup panel, and rather jump over that file and make a log entry, so that those rare cases can be worked off individually next day). I have never used bulk conversion, as I only convert old files (scanned scientific papers) whenever I stumble upon one I believe I need in the future. ![]() ![]() So Korm is of course correct, no need for the Action Wizard. The command seems to move around in different version of Acrobat Pro.īummer! I must have seen the “multiple files” button hundreds of times. In Acrobat Pro XI Tools > Text Recognition > In Multiple Files is what I use for batch OCR.
