OCRmyPDF
OCRmyPDF is a tool for converting image-based PDF files into machine-readable documents by adding a searchable text layer via optical character recognition. It functions as a multi-language processor capable of detecting and extracting text in over 100 different languages using linguistic data packs.
The software includes a PDF image optimizer to remove image artifacts and correct page skew to improve recognition accuracy. It also provides a converter to transform scanned documents into the PDF/A standard for long-term digital archiving.
The system manages PDF optimization by compressing embedded raster images to reduce overall file size. It further supports extensibility through an interface that allows the integration of custom text recognition engines.
