OT: Help getting PDF to OCR or searchable form

[Fairlight]

If you combine all the PDFs into one PDF, then Acrobat should be able to
search through the whole thing.

Any number of utilities could do it, including Nitro PDF (which is what I'd
use).

Nitro may actually have some command-line stuff, but I haven't actually
explored that bit.  I use it for other tasks.
