Why a scan needs OCR first
Without a text layer there is nothing to align paragraph by paragraph. OCR runs only on the pages that lack one, and leaves the rest alone.
01
Open the page it is about
The button below takes you straight to the screen you can act on — no hunting for the entrance.
02
Do it once, following along
Every setting can be walked back the way it was set, so there is nothing to undo afterwards.
03
Look at the result
What comes out goes straight into your library, ready for the next time.
Read it, then go do it — the button below lands on the screen it describes.
