Adds a searchable text layer to a scanned PDF with ocrmypdf. Installs the toolchain at runtime in ~18s. Use when a PDF's pages are images and the deliverable is a file to keep, grep, or hand to another tool: 'make this PDF searchable', 'OCR this scan', 'I can't select the text in this PDF', 'search across these scanned pages', 'the pdf skill returned nothing'. Handles non-English scans via tesseract language packs. NOT for charts, diagrams, handwriting, or slide layouts. Route those to transcribing-images.
