Hello,
For OCR-ing PDF files I like a really powerfull app called ocrmypdf .
It's a python app so can be installed from pip or for Arch linux users it's in the AUR.
It takes pdf file as input and gives back another pdf file on output with OCR text added preserving the original appearance.
Greetings
Peter

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).Regards,
Rynhardt

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
