Convert Scanned and Image PDFs into Text Documents
PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility for Mac OS X, that converts your PDFs and images into text documents. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs that were created via a Scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier.

Disclaimer
PDF OCR uses OCR (optical character recognition) to convert images of text into text. While the technology is quite good at deciphering legible text, there are limitations and some text may not be extracted correctly.
