I request an adopter for the ocrmypdf package. I don't use it as often
as I did (hardly ever the past couple of years), and anyway it would be
better for a Python programmer to maintain it.
The package description is:
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.
