Pipeline:

Step 1: Convert pdf file to image Step 2: Text detection and draw the bounding box Step 3: Merge overlapping, nearby bounding boxes Step 4: Text recognition

Option 1:

Text detection using the Character Region Awareness for Text Detection (CRAFT) algorithm and Text recognition using EasyOCR tool

Option 2:

Text detection using Character Region Awareness for Text Detection (CRAFT) algorithm and Text recognition using Tesseract engine

Option 3:
