Keith I like the initial OCR check which you set up in the PDFPen Pro
script. and would imagine you brought the pre check over to your abbyy
version as well.
A hat tip to Mr. Domachowski for this post for automating abbyy ocr:

Nick,
You suck! My wife is going to shoot me when she sees our Visa bill next month!
I went ahead and bought FineReader Pro and have cobbled together a Hazel rule
with an AppleScript that works. What a pain in the butt that was. Had to use
System Events for every bloody part of the script. Anyw
Thanks, Keith, I'll check that out.
I am using FineReader Pro. I used the trial version from their website, but now
I have bought the version in the Mac App Store. I've heard that FineReader
Express produced much poorer results, hence I went with FineReader Pro.
Best,

Nick,
What version of ABBY are you using? I have seen much out there about ABBY
FineReader Express. I am sort of interested in which one you have as PDFPen is
using a version of ABBY itself but you seem to be getting better results with a
stand alone version.
Anyway, you may want to take a loo
Thanks, Keith, I now have it working well with Hazel and PDFPen Pro, though I
find that PDFPen's results are definitely not as good as ABBYY FineReader's,
especially for languages which PDFPen does not support. But having this batch
perform OCR on all files in a folder is fantastic, so I'd reall
Anne,
I have a friend who owns ABBY. I will ask him to play with it a bit to see if
it can be substituted.

Ooops, don't think I quite answered your first question in full. theFile is an
alias to the file that Hazel is performing the action on. So that line of code
calls a shell script to look at the file for a specific string. If its there
then the file is already OCR'd and nothing needs to be done t

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you on this. The wife had me working

Hi Keith,
Three more questions.
1. What do the following lines do? Do they test whether the file is a
text-based or image-based pdf? Do I need to customise any of that stuff (e.g.
the MyFile thing), or do I simply copy and paste it as is?
set myFile to POSIX path of theFile

To my knowledge, that is the best way. If Applescript Editor sees no way to
script an app, there is no way to script an app, or the developers really want
to hide the ability.

Hello Keith,
I have both ABBYY FineReader Express and FineReader Pro, neither were in the
table when I did Cmd-Shift-o in the Applescript editor. Is there some other way
to determine whether an API is available?

Anne

Nick,
Depends on if ABBY has included an API for AppleScript. I can't tell you as I
don't own it. I do know that PDFPen uses ABBY for their OCR. At least that is
what I have seen in my Applications folder.
As for the tabs in AppleScript. They are just for readability. Keeps the

Hi Keith,
Thanks a bunch for that!
Just a couple of questions. First, generally, are the tabs significant in Apple
Script? I suspect yes but I've never learnt Apple Script so I'm not sure.
Second, do you have any idea if ABBYY FineReader is scriptable and could it
thus be used instead of PDFPe
Hello! Regarding the script you use, can it be changed to use, for example,
ABBYY fine reader to OCR a document? Could that be posible of doing?
It sounds very interesting!
Thanks for your ideas!

Below I will paste a copy of the AppleScript that I use in a Hazel rule that
will open a pdf, check to see if it needs to be OCR'd, OCR it if necessary and
then move it to another folder to be sorted by other requirements.
In PDFPen Pro you can set the preferences to OCR upon opening. I h

HI list,
I get tens if not hundreds of scanned documents at work which have not been
OCR-ed. I've been trialling a number of OCR programs recently. I've been really
impressed with ABBYY Fine Reader, which seems to produce much better results
than Prizmo or even Docuscan Plus. However, manually
