----------
I searched the web for a free command line tool to OCR PDF files on
Linux/UNIX: I found many, but none of them were really satisfying. -
Either they produced PDF files with misplaced text under the image
(making copy/paste impossible) - Or they did not display correctly some
escaped HTML characters located in the hocr file produced by the OCR
engine - Or they changed the resolution of the embedded images - Or they
generated PDF file having a ridiculous big size - Or they crashed when
trying to OCR some of my PDF files - Or they did not produce valid PDF
files (even though they were readable with my current PDF reader) - On
top of that none of them produced PDF/A files (format dedicated for long
time storage / archiving)

... so I decided to develop my own tool (using various existing scripts
as an inspiration)
