# The print/ocrmypdf port

## ocrmypdf-16.6.0 – add an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files

## Description

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

    - 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
      (use "pkg_info -Q tesseract" to locate language packs to install)
    - Keeps your private data private
    - Scales properly to handle files with thousands of pages
    - Battle-tested on millions of PDFs

    ocrmypdf                      # it's a scriptable command line program
       -l eng+fra                 # it supports multiple languages
       --rotate-pages             # it can fix pages that are misrotated
       --deskew                   # it can deskew crooked PDFs!
       --title "My PDF"           # it can change output metadata
       --jobs 4                   # it uses multiple cores by default
       --output-type pdfa         # it produces PDF/A by default
       input_scanned.pdf          # takes PDF input (or images)
       output_searchable.pdf      # produces validated PDF output
