Would it be possible for you to share this shell script?

I usually get the best results with Chromium's built-in PDF reader. It places each page in a landmarked region, allowing you to quickly jump between pages with m and shift+m. It also supports at least some PDF accessability tags.
For broken PDFs requiring some cleanup I use pdftotext from poppler to convert them to text. If the PDF is really badly broken, or if it's an image PDF, I use pdftocairo to convert each page to a PNG image, and Tesseract to OCR the images (I have a small shell script to automate this process).

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. I'm after an accessible .pdf reader, so I can,
well, read pdfs and I've no idea where to start. Any help is appreciated
