Is there a way to automate the process of OCRing 50-100 groups of documents? I would like to be able to leave the computer on over night and just have Acrobat 8.1 Pro simply go through as many of the documents as possible without having to sit in front of the computer and select each group. Is that possible?

- how do you press ok after each file goes through?
Being an unattended process you do not have the need to "press ok".Be well...

I neglected to state that, for the Batch Sequence to run unattended, the Interactive Mode must be "off".

Have the PDFs on the computer's HDD.
Have the output saved to the computer's HDD.
Network burps, during the night, have caused more than one unattended run to spin-crash-burn.
This is going to be sucking on the computer's resources.
Turn off all unessential processes.
No screen saver. No "sleep". No "hibernate".
Add a prefix or suffix to group filenames (could be done with a script) to id a file to a group. Then put them in a common folder.
With your PDFs stacked, wind the box up & release. Your output is waiting for you in the morning.Be well...
