I have some PDF documents that are photocopied text documents (embedded image, rather than text glyphs). When I open these with Evince, I am able to copy and paste the actual text. At first I though this was some kind of OCR process, but then I realised it's actually the document itself, which has the original text embedded in it (OCRed and embedded during the original scan). Is there any command I can use to extract the text from these PDF documents in a batch? I have a couple of thousand documents that need converting. Just curious, since if Evince can obviously do it (manually) then the necessary library components (at least) must be installed (FC6).
