Answer 2

This is a somewhat "meta" answer, but I'll post it anyway since you haven't got many other answers. See:

• How to extract text with OCR from a PDF on Linux? — some of the answers work on OSX as well

• How to do OCR on a PDF document? — closed as duplicate of the above, but still has good, useful (and different) answers. (Another reason not to delete closed questions, but to keep/merge them.)

• Or use Google viewer

Or see some of the questions on the right under "related questions". I went through several of them carefully, but none stood out as particularly useful: but you may find something.
