I'd maybe go about this in a different way.
Merge all the PDFS into one big file.
Does Acrobat have a batch command? If so, maybe you can add the filename to the actual page as you're merging.
Then OCR that large file.
These PDF programs are generally very good at handling large documents.0 -
I am talking about huge files - with over 1000 pages (over 500 separate PDFs)
Anyway - I used AI and it helps (a bit slow but accurate)
