How to batch OCR and Enhance a Directory Full of PDF's

I have about 100 PDF files which I would like to batch "enhance" and then OCR and save back over the original file.

In Adobe this can be done in the "Tools" section, can this be done in PDF XChange and if so how can it be done?

Thank you

It seems that the answer above relates to the "PDF Tools" program. Is something like this possible within PDF-XChange Editor Plus?

My apologies - it seems that PDF Tools is on my computer. It must have been included with Editor Plus. That would explain why the answer above was given in this forum, which is titled "for the PDF-XChange Editor and Viewer". All is working fine. What a great product!

Hi, paulkaye

To the contrary, Tools is not included in the Editor Plus, but both are included in our "PRO" bundle. Likely the reason that OVG offered the method in PDF-tools is because they know PDF-tools is our batch processing suite, and the Editor does not offer a batch processing mode for this process at all.

I am glad to see that everyone seems to have everything they need in order here.

Kind regards,
