How can I process images from different directories through PrimeOCR?

  • Using the wizard create a job for each directory of images you want to process.  Each job file is a simple text file that includes two lines of key information –  the first is a path to the images to process and the second a path to the template to be used during processing.
  • PrimeOCR will read the first job, process the images then read the images from the second job and so forth until completion.
  • Images can be stored either on the local PC or on a remote drive.
  • If the images are stored on a remote drive then mount the drive to a drive letter prior to creating a job (z:\images).

    z:\images\*.tif
    z:\images\tif2pdf.ptm

  • As an alternative to mounted drives a UNC path to the images can also be referenced in the job file.  A simple text editor (notepad.exe) can be used to modify the simple job file format and insert the UNC path to the images and template.  For example:

    \\server01\images\*.tif
    \\server01\images\tif2pdf.ptm
