What you need to do is identify open source software that does OCR
specifically. Rails doesn’t include image or PDF manipulation itself,
but can be integrated with other tools that do. E.g. Rmagick and Prawn.

These Ruby gems look promising:

Goodluck,

Why don’t you put the image file itself inside the pdf? :slight_smile:

i am not sure how ROR can help you here but you could use gocr for
image to text conversion.
