How feasible it is to read multiple PDF formats thru a single bot?

Hi,

I have a situation where I will have to read thousands of different PDF formats to extract info from them. Most of which are handwritten or scanned very unclearly.

So, I want to know if there is a way to handle it from Pega as I don't think standardizing the PDFs to a single format is possible from the client perspective.

The PDF connector does not support scanned PDFs. The DocumentOCR functionality does, but the Abby Engine used for this OCR was not designed for handwritten PDFs.
