OCRmyPDF Tutorial: Convert Scanned Documents into Searchable PDF/A Files with Sidecar Text Extraction and Batch Processing

In this tutorial, we build a complete, self-contained OCRmyPDF pipeline in Python. We generate synthetic image-only PDFs so we can test OCR without external files, then convert them into searchable PDFs and PDF/A outputs. We extract sidecar text, validate results, measure word-recall, and compare file sizes. We also tune Tesseract, clean noisy scans, correct orientation, run OCR in memory, and batch-process whole folders.
