One of the tools I have liked but well past my abilities was a image based pdf or scanned document conversion to something tex like as a document or to pdf, such that the output appears the same as the original with the exception any scanned document artifacts or noise is removed, ie resultant output the typesetting and font matches with any images the same or if not sharpened to a suitable clarity. I think it's one of the very few things were a LLM might suit the task well bar the privacy issue. I had a large collection of photocopies I'd done in the 80s, in the order of 1000s (I have somewhere a large box full of them, but moving every so often lost track of them,) and last time I looked over them, scanning to image was just going to take up too much room on a hard drive, I'd rather have had them all on a cd / dvd or two.
Edit - Additional: The scanned page is of course corrected for proper alignment and positioned appropriately.
