Query about OCR package(s)

[Bret Busby <bret@busby.net>]

hello.

Is an OCR package available for Debian 4.0, in .deb form, that can read 
from PDF files, to allow text to be extracted from PDF files?

In looking at what is available in Synaptic, I could not find such a 
package.

Thank you in anticipation.
