Thank you for sharing!

Another similar project is PDF Sandwich.

http://www.tobias-elze.de/pdfsandwich/

I'd like to find one that uses AWS Textract or some other similar OCR - for my rare use-case, it's so much better at OCR that I'm worth paying a few cents to do the OCR. Maybe Tesseract /can/ do a better job than I've seen in the past, but I imagine getting it there would take an investment in time - when usually I'm OCRing one or two PDFs as part of a separate workflow, so I don't want to distract with trying to improve the process.



I'll add PDF Sandwich to my readme here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/PDF2SearchablePDF#a...

Issue opened: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/PDF2SearchablePDF/i...

Can you identify any pros/cons to my software over theirs, or vice versa?
