@Kevin Stratvert Hello Kevin, Very good video! - But in one point a bit misleading. The function to recognize a text from a scanned PDF does not exist in LibreOffice Draw. The only possibility is to use the OCR integrated in the scanner. The "image to text" conversion is then already done by the scanner software. But LibreOffice Draw itself has - no - OCR function. The KZfaq PDF that you have edited in LibreOffice Draw has already been "translated" by the scanner. - Or am I missing something? Many greetings from Germany, Marvin Christ
