ocrmypdf

add an OCR text layer to PDF files

Description

OCRmyPDF generates a searchable PDF/A file from a regular PDF containing only images, allowing it to be searched.

It uses the Tesseract OCR engine and so supports all the languages that Tesseract does.

Some other main features:

* Places OCR text accurately below the image to ease copy / paste

* Keeps the exact resolution of the original embedded images

* When possible, inserts OCR information as a lossless operation

without rendering vector information

* Keeps file size about the same

* If requested deskews and/or cleans the image before performing OCR

* Validates input and output files

* Provides debug mode to enable easy verification of the OCR results

* Processes pages in parallel when more than one CPU core is

available

* Battle-tested on thousands of PDFs, a test suite and continuous

integration.
