OCR flag

Question

Is there any flag in MFiles that the document has OCR layer?

Use case: Customer has contracts with OCR without signatures. Users usualy replace versions with OCR (without signatures) with new scan (pdf) with signatures but without OCR.
I need to identify which documents do not have an OCR layer.

If the customer has the license to use M-Files Discovery , you can configure it to search for PDFs that don't have any machine-readable text in them (regex (?<value>.
) with inverted match). 
 If you can affect how the signed documents are imported to M-Files, you could also perform OCR as part of the import process for instance via external file sources . And of course there are also electronic signing solutions available that would get rid of this issue and the scanning overhead.
