I believe you mentioned Master PDF editor. I believe it has OCR built-in, or allows it as a plugin. If needed, a good OCR tool is Tesseract and is likely in your distro's repository. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_(software)
Jason, Thank you. The most recent doc I viewed (that prompted my post) has multiple images per page; it's not all text. While I don't remember the few others that I could not search it's likely that they, too, had many images embedded within the text. So I assume they were all scanned (or produced by an equivalent process). I used to get scanned documents (such as permit copies) from clients and had no reason to run them through an OCR, but I'll keep that in mind for the future. Germane to MasterPDFEditor, I expect that its OCR capabilites are in the paid version, not the free one. And, yes, Tesseract is in the SBo repo. Stay well, Rich
