    pdfsandwich generates "sandwich" OCR pdf files, i.e. pdf files which contain only images (but no editable text) will be processed by optical character recognition (OCR) and the text will be added to each page invisibly "behind" the images. pdfsandwich is a command line tool which is supposed to be useful to OCR scanned books or journals. It is able to recognize the page layout even for multicolumn text. Essentially, pdfsandwich is a wrapper script which calls the following binaries: convert, unpaper, tesseract, gs, and hocr2pdf (if tesseract < 3.03). It is known to run on Unix systems and has been tested on Linux and MacOS X. It supports parallel processing on multiprocessor systems. In contrast to most competing sandwich programs, it performs preprocessing of the scanned images, such as de-skewing or removal of dark edges etc. For further information please read the manual: http://www.tobias-elze.de/pdfsandwich/index.html

    Merge PDF Files

    It is a Windows library that merges standard PDFs into a final PDF

    The library is intended for developers, for inclusion in desktop applications or server services. There are lots of SDKs on the market creating (merging) PDFs (almost all of them have limitations). Our Windows library (MergePDFByNMI.dll) only merges standard PDF files (there are several PDF formats). You can send the input PDFs (by file name or by byte array) and you can have the final PDF (saved on a file or get back on a byte array). The library calls can be synchronous or asynchronous. We want to give you a benchmark, the library was used to create a PDF from single page(scanned) image by an OCR SDK (it is not included in our library, you can use any on the market): 20,000 Images (the OCR SDK creates single page PDF text searchable, running 50 threads) in 80 minutes. The size of the final PDF searchable was 800Mb. If you download the library, we provide a sample which cover all the scenarios possible (synchronous and asynchronous).
