I was talking about Preview - the application that comes with every mac.
For a few versions of macOS now, there is a capability to detect text in images - "Live Text" is the moniker that Apple uses.
It is not just with Preview, but since the discussion was about pdf, my suggestion is this:
1) Open the pdf in Preview (or Safari)
2) See if it recognizes the text and can select it
3) If it does, copy and then paste in a text application
I just tried a quick example, using my poor handwriting, and was able to do as above.
Luis Sequeira1 regarding PdfGear
The OCR is not working for me.
BTW the section Convert to Pdf has no Html to Pdf.
I have misstaken you for someone else, but I don't remember who
