Convert image to searchable PDF and edit PDF author

You can use the command line application VeryPDF Image to PDF OCR Converter Command Line or the GUI application Image to PDF OCR Converter to convert image to searchable PDF document and edit PDF author simultaneously. If you want to use either of these two applications, please read the following contents.
