|

Both ``parallel`` and ``ocrmypdf`` will try to use all available processors. To maximize parallelism without overloading your system with processes, consider using ``parallel -j 2`` to limit parallel to running two jobs at once.
|

|
||||
This command will run all ocrmypdf all files named ``*.pdf`` in the current directory and write them to the previous created ``output/`` folder.

This command will run all ocrmypdf all files named ``*.pdf`` in the current directory and write them to the previous created ``output/`` folder. It will not search subdirectories.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``--tag`` argument tells parallel to print the filename as a prefix whenever a message is printed, so that one can trace any errors to the file that produced them.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
parallel -j 2 ocrmypdf '{}' 'output/{}' ::: *.pdf
|
||||
parallel --tag -j 2 ocrmypdf '{}' 'output/{}' ::: *.pdf

Directory trees
|
||||
---------------
|

|
||||
This will walk through a directory tree and run OCR on all files in place, printing the output in a way that makes
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
find . --printf '%p' -name '*.pdf' -exec ocrmypdf '{}' '{}' \;
|
||||
|
||||
This only runs one ``ocrmypdf`` process at a time. This variation uses ``find`` to create a directory list and ``parallel`` to parallelize runs of ``ocrmypdf``, again updating files in place.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
find . -name '*.pdf' | parallel --tag -j 2 ocrmypdf '{}' '{}'
