OCR many files in many subfolders in one shot
Hello,
actually i'm working on a document management system ALFRESCo to consult old newspaper article. The old articles
was scanned as JPG/PDF. But for my work i need text research, so i do re-scan all articles. Actually the are more than 6000 articles to re-scan.
So i have buyed PDF tool to batch my work, it works verry good. But... only for files directly accessible. I it possible to ocrised all files in one shot.
I mean all files, il all subfolders. While actualy i can ocred only folder by folder.
Many thanks for this programm, it's nearly perfect for me

Re: OCR many files in many subfolders in one shot
Hello silver74,
Thank you for the post. This is possible when you choose the "Show extended dialogue for files selecting" in the OCR pages tool properties:
In the extended dialogue, you can choose "Add Folders" from the drop-down menu:
When you select a folder, you will be asked if you would also like to include sub-folders:
I hope this helps!

Hello Silver74,
Does this crash always happen at the same % done? (e.g. my thought is that this might be caused by one particular file), or does it happen at any moment?
You said "less" than 100 files - does it work properly with more files and crash with fewer?
Regards,
Stefan

It's crashing between 36% and 60%. I don't looke the screen every minute, i'm working otherwhile;)
When i chose less than 100 files everitime the pdf-tool works like a charm. But when i chose more than 100 (150) i have chance of two, the tool is crashing.
Best regards and good luck

Hello Silver74,
Thanks! So the problem occurs with more than 100 files.
I will pass this along to our devs working on the PDF Tools, and ask for their opinion.

Hi silver74
I'm afraid that we can't, just yet, but I would estimate that it's roughly 2 - 3 weeks away.
Thanks,

Hi silver74,
I may well be sooner - I can only offer a conservative 'guesstimate' at this point.
