I probably should have asked this _before_ I was half way through typing it out by hand, but is there a good sort of virtual OCR software for converting image only PDFs to text?

@OpenComputeDesign maybe let Google's cloud handle it?
I keep finding that I'm able to search image PDFs, so maybe if you upload your PDF to Google drive it would provide a way to copy and paste the text?
I also wonder if the OCR built into phones these days would take care of it.
@volkris I'm afraid the nature of the PDF is such that ideally google would never know I've ever seen it
