Converting a scanned PDF to EPUB ebook (or other format)

Caveat

You're not going to get a beautiful EPUB out the other end - if that's what you're looking for, expect to do some manual clean-up work yourself.

Basic order of operations:

  • Convert your PDF to an OCR-friendly format
  • OCR that shit into plaintext
  • Convert that plaintext into your format of choice (in this case, an EPUB)
