This script creates a merged PDF with an OCR layer from several separate files. It is intended to partly automate this workflow:
- Scan multi-page document using XSane. This results in files like file_name_prefix-0008.pdf - one file for each page.
- Create one merged PDF: pdfunite file_name_prefix* file_name_prefix.pdf
- Add an OCR layer: ocrmypdf file_name_prefix.pdf
