Save the OCRed PDF

[micos7]

🚀 The feature

I`d like to save the pdf after OCR

Motivation, pitch

Alternatives

I tried something like this but exceptions all over

   `doc = DocumentFile.from_pdf(pdf_content)
    # Perform OCR using doctr
    model = ocr_predictor(pretrained=True)
    result = model(doc)



    # Extract text from the OCR result
    text = ""
    for page in result.pages:
        for block in page.blocks:
            for line in block.lines:
                for word in line.words:
                    text += word.value + " "

    # Save the OCR result back to the original file path
    with open(body.url, 'w') as pdf_file:
        pdf_file.write(text)`

Additional context

Thanks for your work.

Hi @micos7 : 👋
What you want to create is a PDF/A File (PDF with text layer).
Please take a look at https://mindee.com/blog/create-ocrized-pdfs-in-2-steps :)
