Hey all,

So I've found a decent PDF-to-Epub converter (Wondershare, $29.99), and I''ve been using it to convert my test-based PDFs.

So far, I've been manually opening up each PDF , scrolling down, and seeing if I a) highlight text (Making it a text-based PDF and OK to be converted) or
b) just make a highlighted box (making it an image-based PDF and must be put through an OCR program first).

I'm wondering if there is a program that can do this (identify whether each PDF is text- or image-based) for large amounts of files, so I can speed up the process in the future.

Cheers,

Owlman.
