WORK IN PROGRESS

The PDF OCR (optical character recognition) step converts images of text embedded in PDF files into machine-encoded text. Images of text are typically found in PDFs of scanned documents.

Overview

Using OCRmyPDF, the PDF OCR step extracts text from files of MIME type application/pdf that don’t contain any machine-readable text.

The Content Augmentation step needs to run before and the Content Extraction (formerly Content Conversion) step after the PDF OCR step.
