2/2 re #OCR

All three were set to #rotate and #deskew. None rotated the page that was sideways, but they all #deskewed pages that needed it. Kofax was the speediest of the bunch, then #OCRmyPDF not far behind and #Foxit was by far the slowest.

File size Foxit produced the smallest file size, #Kofax created files double the original. OCRmyPDF struggled here, ballooning the original size by at least 6 times larger.

#WSL is nice because I can use #OCRmyPDF on #Ubuntu. I set it up to watch a folder for any new #PDF then automatically #deskew #rotate #OCR then #export to a "done" folder. It is very nice to have it done automatically in the background. No more opening, clicking to OCR and waiting on the software and unable to open other PDFs. Plus, this process is way lighter on resources. Man, I love #OpenSource.
