can I OCR PDF files on macOS with no foreign apps?

The Preview app can export a PDF file to a PDF file with “Embedded Text“. As easy as that.

What will I do with that PDF with embedded Text? I will run “pdftohtml -xml” on it, and I will add lots of comments to the prettified XML. That’s good for bills and contracts and all that.
