I have a searchable PDF file of a book and I wanted to clean up the images like scan tailor does ( page splitting, deskew, margin crop) . Is there a freeware post-scan processing program for PDF files simalar to Scan Tailor. If such a program does not exist and I convert the PDF file into a Tif file to run through Scan Tailor will I loose the searchable aspect of the PDF file or is there a way to maintain it when converting between the two formats

Any relevant thoughts or comments will be greatly appreciated

thanks
