I should mention that ocrmypdf no longer has an immediate use for PyMuPDF - I went the route of creating pikepdf, Python bindings for qpdf, and this is library is now in Debian thanks to Sean's work on packaging it. I don't think I would use PyMuPDF if it were available. pikepdf overlaps the core o
