I would love to move to PDF, or have PDF in addition to CBZ files so that all the scans have searchable text. That would make all our stuff that much more useful.
I've tried JPG to PDF conversion programs to get OCR text, as well as scanning directly to PDF with OCR, and while they work, you don't get a clean straight scan like you get with JPGs that we edit. Both the programs and the scanner will skew each page so you have this uneven edge of white along both sides.
I would LOVE a program that could take out edited JPG files and add OCR to them without adjusting or rotating the page at all so that we could have a PDF scan with searchable text that looks exactly like our finalized CBZ files.
If anyone knows anyone who can create such a program, let me know. If someone could create something to do that, it would be worth paying for in my eyes. I'd like people researching retro gaming to come to us and search for stuff rather than the Internet Archive.
