Internally linked files.

[DLDunville]

I have a 104mb legal deposition with 51 internally linked documents. The main doc (the deposition) is OCR'd, but the linked files are not. How do I OCR the linked files?

Where are the linked files stored? Are they individually accessible?

Bottomline is that I need the whole document searchable.

Thank

We don't know where you have stored the linked files.

The only way to OCR the linked files is to have direct access of them to process them through Acrobat. If you do not have direct access to them you can't.

Let's say you link to one and now that it's in Acrobat you OCR it. That's fine for you but you did not OCR the source file, only the copy that you created when you accessed it from the original file.

If you CAN access the original linked file and replace the one that is (well) accessible, than you've solved your problem.

I hope that makes sense.
