<div dir="ltr"><div>I used pdfsandwich in a project. I set up a Raspberry Pi, found all of the dependencies for it and wrote a script to automate it (I had over 200 files to work on). It did OCR on the files I put in the "original" directory. If it succeeded without errors, I moved it to a "Done" directory otherwise it went to a "Fail" directory. It did the OCR and added the text to the file. It wasn't perfect, but close enough for my needs.</div><div><br></div><div>Laura Brody<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 8:38 PM Cesar Baquerizo via Filepro-list <<a href="mailto:filepro-list@lists.celestial.com">filepro-list@lists.celestial.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Look for pdfsandwich.
