How to use OCR to search within my image-based PDFs? #397

Thank you so much for creating this plugin—it truly makes things a lot easier! However, I’ve encountered a small issue. Sometimes, my PDFs are image-based, which makes it more challenging to convert them into OCR text. I often find that the OCR recognition isn’t accurate. Is there any way I could search the content of my image-based PDFs using the search bar?

I really admire how another software, Marginote, allows me to search for text (use OCR)simply by typing the content. Would it be possible to have a feature that lets me both annotate and search within image-based PDFs in the annotation?

Additionally, I looked through some other issues and uploaded the Taskbone plugin as suggested. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working for me.
