Hi, is there any working tool which is able to add text layer into scanned PDF? I tried YAGF (front-end for cuneiform and/or tesseract), but it seems to have only option to save the text as separate TXT file. Cuneiform also doesn't have this possibility and tesseract I wasn't able to get to work (script OCRmyPDF was always complaining about missing tesseract even it was installed). Scantailor seems to lack this functionality. Ocrad wasn't able to start (and no error message produced) and gocr isn't able to work with PDF... Some old demo version of Vuescan I have requires libgtk-X11 which is unavailable. And it is not the cheapest software... Tragedy. Any other suggestions? ;-) Yours, Vojtěch

My Canon printer came with software to do that during the scan operation. It's Windows software but it might run in wine.

I also have Canon printer. Surprisingly they offer Linux driver for download. I wouldn't expect any useful software on Canon Windows CD. :-) And if yes, this the last choice... -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/
