Hi all,

I am trying to OCR just a specific page inside a PDF using javascript. Have been searching for a while. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

JavaScript doesn't have any OCR capabilities. The closest you can get is to use it to launch the built-in menu item for OCR, but you can't influence it beyond that.

Thanks a million, I tried using
app.execMenuItem("Cpt:CapturePages");
from Acrobat 8. Allows to OCR specific page. I think that is as far as I can go with automation.
