Recognize text in selected pages/thumbnails
I want to open the thumbnail view, select the pages that need OCR, and then have the ability to right click and select an option like "Recognize text in selected pages."
I work with a lot of files that have scanned images scattered among hundreds or thousands of pages that don't require text recognition; I want to select only the pages that require text recognition and apply OCR to those pages without having to keep updating the OCR page rage. If we can select and print non-consecutive pages, we should be able to do the same with OCR. This would be a gamechanger and save me hours of manual labor.
Note: OCR'ing the entire document is not a good solution in many cases. That can take a very long time, and the text recognition process sometimes has trouble with renderable text (the resulting recognized text becomes scrambled, or the file size increases dramatically).
