images2pdf Plugin for ZSH

Allows combining images to a searchable pdf using local ocr.

You can use this command if you have a bunch of images showing pages of a paper document you want to share with others. The resulting pdf document will show the images page per page but also enable the user to search through recognized text parts for faster navigation. The usage is simple, e.g. images2pdf eng attachment.pdf *.jpg or images2pdf deu Rechnung.pdf page1.png page2.png
