Batch OCR

When I batch ocr, I am prompted at the beginning of each file with a "Recognize Text - Settings" prompt. I then must hit enter to proceed. How can I automate that part of the process? This happens even when I try to batch by folder.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Macintosh

When I use the OCR in a batch it runs without interuption. Even when there are errors. Do you have all of the OCR parameters filled out?

You need to change the interactive mode. You do this by double clicking the box next step (it will turn full grey instead of have 3 dots).
