description="""\
Generates a searchable PDF or PDF/A from a regular PDF.
OCRmyPDF rasterizes each page of the input PDF, optionally corrects page
rotation and performs image processing, runs the Tesseract OCR engine on the
image, and then creates a PDF from the OCR information.
""",
epilog="""\
OCRmyPDF attempts to keep the output file at about the same size. If a file
contains losslessly compressed images, and images in the output file will be
losslessly compressed as well.
PDF is a page description file that attempts to preserve a layout exactly.
A PDF can contain vector objects (such as text or lines) and raster objects
(images). A page might have multiple images. OCRmyPDF is prepared to deal
with the wide variety of PDFs that exist in the wild.
When a PDF page contains text, OCRmyPDF assumes that the page has already
been OCRed or is a "born digital" page that should not be OCRed. The default
behavior is to exit in this case without producing a file. You can use the
option --skip-text to ignore pages with text, or --force-ocr to rasterize
all objects on the page and produce an image-only PDF as output.
ocrmypdf --skip-text file_with_some_text_pages.pdf output.pdf
ocrmypdf --force-ocr word_document.pdf output.pdf
If you are concerned about long-term archiving of PDFs, use the default option
--output-type pdfa which converts the PDF to a standardized PDF/A-2b. This
removes some features from the PDF such as Javascript or forms. If you want to
minimize the number of changes made to your PDF, use --output-type pdf.
If OCRmyPDF is given an image file as input, it will attempt to convert the
image to a PDF before processing. For more control over the conversion of
images to PDF, use the Python package img2pdf or other image to PDF software.
For example, this command uses img2pdf to convert all .png files beginning
with the 'page' prefix to a PDF, fitting each image on A4-sized paper, and
sending the result to OCRmyPDF through a pipe.
img2pdf --pagesize A4 page*.png | ocrmypdf - myfile.pdf
