If I have received a bunch of PDFs. How can I tell which ones are already OCRed without opening the file?

That's great!
Will Acro 8 run through and recognize PDF vs. OCR saved as older versions? 7.0, 6.x, 5.x., 4.x, etc. ?

Yes, but instead of creating a Batch Process that requires interaction for every file read, I would count the words in the PDF and either create a report of the PDFs with zero words or print the list to the JS Console.
In Acro 8 Pro the steps are: Advanced -> Document Processing -> Batch Processing -> New Sequence -> Type "accessibility checker" -> Select Command -> Double click Accessibility Checker.Set the Batch up to read the files or folder of files you are interested in.
When the file result says:
'All of the text in this document lacks a language specification'
then there is text that is recognized in the document.
When the file result says:
'This document contains no fonts. If this document appears to contain text, it may be an image-only PDF file'
then the file has no recognized text.
Hope this is helpful.
