the kind of pdf doc where the text is a scan (image) of a physical text document

I found this page (below). Does anyone know whether this program will work with pdf docs?

The gImageReader and OCRFeeder front-ends are listed as opening pdf filetypes. There may be others too.

OCRFeeder is in the Trisquel repository as package ocrfeeder .

OCR will likely work with pretty much any file format.

You could also try the pdftotext command from poppler-utils package.

'pdftotext' does not do OCR. It only works on documents edited from a program (real characters, not images of them).
