Hello all. I am looking for a program that will monitor a given folder for new PDF files and convert inaccessible PDF files to accessible PDF (PDF/a) or Microsoft Word files. Does anyone know of a program that can do this type of automated batch OCR conversion? Right now, I have to initiate the OCR process with a command for each document and rename the new document to the same filename as the original PDF with a .docx estension. This is not an efficient use of my time. Thanks.
