Unrud Scans to PDF – create small searchable PDF files from scanned documents. A free and open source program
Review
- The program divides images into bitonal foreground images (text) and a color background image, then compresses them separately. An invisible OCR text layer is added, making the PDF searchable;
- Color and grayscale scans need some preparation for good results. Recommended tools are Scan Tailor or GIMP;
- Command line support.
