I have a complete PDF copy of an English-language book that I need converted into fully editable, text. The PDF is of high-resolution images of the pages. Your task is to run accurate OCR on every page, proof-read the output, and return: • a Word document (or plain text) with all headings, paragraphs, and any italics or boldface correctly retained BUT exclude unnecessary keystrokes (characters) that might pertain to headers, footers, page numbers, etc. that are not part of the corpus of the manuscript. Separate "pull quotes" at the start of many sections from the rest of the text and use them as a heading for that section. Careful verification is essential to keep recognition errors to an absolute minimum. Please use whatever OCR software you trust—ABBYY FineReader, Adobe, Tesseract, etc.—as long as the final text is at least 99 % accurate. Let me know how quickly you can turn around roughly 210 pages and what quality-control steps you follow.

Hi, I'm a Python developer specialising in OCR and PDF-to-Word pipelines (Tesseract, ABBYY FineReader, Adobe). I've delivered 99%+ accurate manuscript conversions before. My approach: - Run high-accuracy OCR across all ~210 high-res pages, tuned to your book's font - Strip running headers, footers and page numbers so only the manuscript corpus remains - Preserve all headings, paragraph structure, italics and boldface in the Word output - Detect each section's opening pull-quote and promote it to that section's heading - Manual proofread pass against the page images to push accuracy past 99% - Deliver a clean .docx (plus plain text if preferred) I can complete the full ~210 pages in about 5 days, with a sample batch in 24 hours for your sign-off. One question: should footnotes/endnotes be kept inline, collected at the end, or omitted with the other non-corpus elements?
