Topic: Contents of a pdf
Conf: (P-PDF) PDF Accessibility, Msg: 144286
From: Robin2345

I have a disk full of pdfs created either by a pdf printer or via openoffice output.

The open office has selectable print whereas the pdf printer output is purely picture.

I would like to run an ocr program on all my picture only pdfs leaving alone the ones already in asci form.

I therefore need to have a way of knowing what is in each file without manually opening it to check if it has any text there.

Is there a program that can test a pdf and give me a code signifying the result? If not how can I discover the text properties of a pdf without fully opening it? For example is there a way of finding out what layers are in it?
