For some reasons, the behavior of ocrmypdf seem to have change. Whereas before we were expecting directly the .txt file from it, now it was generating a PDF with the ocr-ed text overlaid to it. This commit fix this issue by overwriting the original scan PDF with a pdf with text overlaid and run the usual pdftotext on this new PDF.

The v5.0+ feature --sidecar should be used instead but it would require to upgrade ocrmypdf, which is not currently in the roadmap. This fix is therefore OK for now. See: #4 (comment).
