Add ability to extract text from scanned pdfs #9

Closed Tsippaduida closed 9 years ago

Tsippaduida commented 9 years ago

Scanners often create pdf-documents when you use them for copying. It would be real handy if the text in those pdfs would be available.

This will require some conversion library which converts pdf to image. I'll look into it.

This has been now implemented. Some PDF files might not work. However, that can't be fixed at Textractor side.

Thanks,

This is great news. Textractor in one of the best OCR engines available.
