I have a paper copy of some old LaTeX notes, but I lost the source file. If I scanned them as a .pdf, does any OCR software exist that could convert the scanned .pdf to LaTeX source (.tex)?

I also have a paper copy of some old notes created using Microsoft Word's Equation Editor. While I am considerably less hopeful, I ask the same question -- does an OCR software exist that could convert a scanned .pdf to .tex?

Thank you for your help.

  • Check the linked answer, but scanned text is much more work (need to fix badly understood text besides redoing the formatting). – vonbrand Feb 09 '14 at 02:03
