How to convert a scanned PDF file to Editable PDF file with python?

Question

I just need to know if we can convert a scanned pdf file to an editable pdf file using python. I know couple of libraries out there like pytesseract, pyocr. Guidance in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

import os
import subprocess

for top, dirs, files in os.walk('/my/pdf/folder'):
    for filename in files:
        if filename.endswith('.pdf'):
            abspath = os.path.join(top, filename)
            subprocess.call('lowriter --invisible --convert-to doc "{}"'
                            .format(abspath), shell=True)
