It's very unlikely, that this will be available in the future again. It was way to complicated to get the pdf to pdf part working in a good way. (see: #251) The plan is to add another app that supports pdf handling. But not pdf ocr. Such that a future workflow for scanning documents is containing more steps:

  1. Scan into png, jpeg or tiff
  2. Ocr with this app
  3. Merge individual pages with https://github.com/janis91/pdf_tailor

Hope this will help to solve all issues with the prior solution.
