Does anyone know if there is a keyword or something else in metadata (or elsewhere) that indicates whether a PDF file is indexed text searchable in spotlight?

I have a lot of articles that are in pdf format but are images without searchable text (someone scanned them and then didn't "capture OCR" the text") so they are not searchable with spotlight excepting their filename.

I would love to know if there is any way of looking at the file info and establishing that it has not been indexed by spotlight....

If you know how to do this.... please explain in simple terms as I am not a coder.

Thanks,

Gar
