Image OCR to PDF: a practical guide

A phone photo of a document is easy to take and hard to use: you cannot search it, quote it or file it alongside other records. This tool runs OCR on each image, places the recognised text invisibly over the photo, and binds the set into a single PDF. Arrange the images in reading order first; that order becomes the page order of the finished file.
