to possibly OCR and copy just those files to another folder

Rapid PDF Count 2
1. First install Rapid PDF Count 2 and go into
Setup-->Options and check 'Count number of words & characters also' box.
2.
Add your files to the list and click
'Page Count Files in List' button.

select those files with "No" words on every page with SHIFT, CTRL left mouse. E.g.
4.
Then click 'Reports/Scripts' -->
Run/Create/Save script on files selected.
5.
Now you can either copy the files to
another location to OCR or move them with a DOS script e.g.
use copy "[FILENAME]" c:\copy or move
"[FILENAME]" c:\move
6.
Click 'Run as a dos script'
This will run on all files selected, then you can
process those files in the c:\move folder for OCR.
NOTE: To copy
the files back after ocr, do the reverse script on the files selected
e.g. copy /Y
c:\move\"[FILETITLE]" "[FILENAME]" |
