Re: can pdfbox clean the scanned pdf

Cleaning scanned images is beyond the scope of PDFBox.

Good scanners (e.g. Kodak Alaris) clean images before passing them to 
the PC.

I saw some commercial software which can scan a homedepot receipt into a very clean pdf, not sure if PDFBox can do the same thing? maybe have to get some OCR package to further process it?
