Summarize scanned PDF with OCRmyPDF
Create a searchable PDF from a scanned document, extract its text through Poppler pdftotext, and produce preview-first notes from the extracted text file ref. Set write_mode to stage to persist a durable scanned-document note with pointers to the searchable PDF and extracted text; preview mode writes no shared record.
