I am new to gscan2pdf 0.9.31, and just used it to OCR a scanned pdf.

After saving the pdf, the OCRed text is stored on the top left corner. However I wish each OCRed character to be added to exactly where it was OCRed from, to make the pdf file text-selectable. Can I do that?

  • Three questions: (1) Can you provide a screenshot that illustrates your problem? -- (2) Which OCR engine did you use on your original input file? -- (3) Which format was your original input file (PDF? JPEG? TIFF? PNG? ...)?

This doesn't answer exactly your question but after experimenting with various programs to achieve what you're looking for, that is a text-selectable scanned pdf, the easiest solution I found is to use PDF XChange viewer through Wine. Just open the scanned pdf, click the OCR button, select the language and other settings. Save when finished.
