OCR if PDF doesn't contain text

I have a folder containing both digital and scanned PDFs. I only want to OCR the scanned files. Is there a way to do this?

Just use ocrmypdf on each pdf in its default settings. If text is detected, the default behavior is to refuse leave the pdf unchanged. There are also options in the manual to do this on a page basis.
