- darklajid 12y agoI'm confused. What is setting you off? That seems to be scanned, yes. Then you run a full page OCR engine to extract the text _with bounding rectangles_ and create a PDF with the page being the input image, embedding the OCR results as invisible text at the recognized positions. It's something I do day in/day out in this line of business, requires no skill apart from a decent engine and a 'create your own PDF' library (iText/iTextSharp is cool, go and buy a license. Not affiliated, but I'm a happy user).
