Extract Text from Scanned PDFs with OCR - Bulk PDF URLs

Turn scanned PDFs and photographed documents into searchable text. Pages that already have a text layer are read directly; only image-only pages go through OCR, and you pay for an OCR page only when it actually recovered text. 30 OCR languages, one flat row per PDF, failed files are free.
