I assume that you can search that individual file but am I correct that you cannot search across files in that chart, or across all patient's charts? If that is the case, what is the utility of the OCR conversion? Can you guys give me some examples of how you would use an AC that included all OCR-pdf's, as opposed to regular ones?
John,
Ahhhhh.... there may be the rub. I'm curious what Sandeep says. If it's only the text in an individual chart that is searchable, then there is no real benefit to OCR conversion. I was looking to find a way that would search across all pt. charts - so that if I wanted to find all files with the word "mammogram" in them, I could pull them up.
Every year, our IPA gives bonuses based upon how well we have our pts. meeting their metrics. Being able to search across all charts would be incredibly valuable and make the process so much easier...
I think that if you run a batch sequence, you can scan across multiple files! I just found this from the Adobe Acrobat site:
Run a Batch Sequence
Now, all you need to do is to run the batch sequence.
Place all the files you wish to process in a single folder on your hard drive.
In Acrobat Professional 7, choose Advanced?>Batch Processing
? or ?
In Acrobat Professional 8, choose Advanced?>Document Processing?>Batch Processing
Select the sequence to run
Click OK
Select the folder to process
Click the Select button.
Select the Output Folder
