PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility for Mac OS X, that converts your PDFs into text documents. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs that were created via a Scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier.

same results with v. 1.4.1 . I've tried a few files now & get nothing but a blank text file.

This program builds on a lot of old but very good open source projects - Tesseract, ImageMagick primarily (hence the huge download size)- and wraps them in a droplet that looks to be created with Platypus. It's a great idea & I'd be happy to pay the dev. $29 for the work involved in packaging ... but the test file I tried just gave a blank text file as output.

This is not exactly freeware: the free "community version" is crippled, allowing only 1 page to be converted to text.
