OCRMYPDF
Add searchable OCR text layers to scanned PDFs
MPL-2.0
ABOUT
Scanned PDFs and image-based documents are not searchable or text-selectable, making them inaccessible for full-text search, copy-paste, and downstream NLP processing. OCRmyPDF solves this by applying OCR to each page and embedding the recognized text as an invisible layer behind the original image — producing standards-compliant PDF/A files that are both human-readable and machine-searchable without modifying the visual appearance.

1. Convert scanned document archives into searchable PDFs for enterprise document management systems
