Hello everyone, I translate a lot of patents and very often I have to translate figures/drawings that include text. The figures are provided as pdf picture images, so there is no way to mark the text or OCR the page.

I tried with inkscape, abby, PDFescape, Adobe Acrobat, but nothing works 100%. ...
