Description

New port: textproc/py-ocrmypdf

OCRmyPDF adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be
searched or copy-pasted.

Main features:

  • Generates a searchable PDF/A file from a regular PDF
  • 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 disrupting any other content
  • Optimizes PDF images, often producing files smaller than the input file
  • If requested deskews and/or cleans the image before performing OCR
  • Validates input and output files
  • Distributes work across all available CPU cores
  • Uses Tesseract OCR engine to recognize more than 100 languages
  • Scales properly to handle files with thousands of pages
  • Battle-tested on millions of PDFs
