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)

Getting past cross-origin Web Worker exception

Cross-origin web worker scripts

If you're like me and wanted to serve your main app script from a CDN and still load a web worker, you may have encountered the following error:

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to construct 'Worker': Script at 'http://cdn.example.com/worker.js' cannot be accessed from origin 'http://example.com'

You can get around this fairly simply with importScripts by making the script you instantiate your worker with load the actual worker script from the CDN.
