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
The PDF OCR step belongs to the Enrich steps. Using OCRmyPDF, It extracts text from files of MIME type application/pdf that don’t contain machine-readable text.
The Content Augmentation step needs to run before, the Content Extraction (formerly Content Conversion) step after the PDF OCR step.
