How to turn a pdf into a text searchable pdf?
- by don.joey
I have a number of scanned documents in pdf and I want to be able to search them. How can I do that?
Essentially I have to OCR the pdf and then blend the extracted text back into a new pdf. I have unsuccesfully tried
pdfocr (which gives me this issue: https://github.com/gkovacs/pdfocr/issues/7)
pdfsandwich (of which the software center says it is a poor package and I should not install it)
Is there a software package I am unaware of? Or a script that does this?
