====== OCR a PDF file ====== Super simple solution. - Install ''tesseract'' and the corresponding data package for your language - Install ''ocrmypdf'' either from AUR or pip. If your document is scanned/has no text layer, run it as ocrmypdf input.pdf output_with_text.pdf If it does have text, it doesn't always merge cleanly. You can use ''--force-ocr'' but that rasterizes the file and makes it massive.
