About ocrmypdf

From Debian's package description

OCRmyPDF generates a searchable PDF/A file from a regular PDF containing only images, allowing it to be searched.
It uses the Tesseract OCR engine and so supports all the languages that Tesseract does.
Some other main features:
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 rendering vector information
Keeps file size about the same
If requested deskews and/or cleans the image before performing OCR
Validates input and output files
Provides debug mode to enable easy verification of the OCR results
Processes pages in parallel when more than one CPU core is available
Battle-tested on thousands of PDFs, a test suite and continuous integration.
