[PLUG] pdf to text

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

I need to make comments on a PDF I received.  I first tried using pdftotext, 
but found that the text in PDF was a scanned image, so pdftotext found no 
text to convert.

I am thinking of two possible solutions -- neither of which may exist.  

Many years ago, I used win-based fax software that scanned fax images for text 
and did an OCR.  Does anything like that -- the ability to scan and OCR a pdf 
or extracted image -- exist for Linux?

The other alternative is the ability to add comments as is possible with the 
full acrobat windows/mac product.  Are there any tools available for Linux 
that allow commenting?
