Question : Problem: Batch convert PDF to searchable format

I have many files that are scanned to pdf format.  I have a copy of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 that came with my scanner.  I can use the menu option Recognize Text using OCR to make my files searchable within Acrobat Reader and with Google Desktop.

I have 100's of files.  Is there anyway to automate or script the conversion from image/pdf to searchable pdf so that I can do an entire folder at the same time.

Thanks

Answer : Problem: Batch convert PDF to searchable format

Choose Advanced>Batch Processing
Click the New Sequence button.
Give sequence name.
Click Select Commands
Select all the commands that you like that Batch to do
Save it and then Run a Batch Sequence

Place all the files you wish to process in a single folder on your hard drive.
Choose Advanced>Batch Processing
Select the sequence to run (just what you have saved)
Click OK
Select the folder to process
Select the Output Folder
