I was a bit too eager and marked the ticket as 'in progress'. This feature will come in the foreseeable future, but we will prioritize the PDF object type rework first. This will provide a stable foundation to then tackle more advanced projects such as this one. In order to be as transparent as possible with the state of development, I am now marking the ticket as 'planned' again.

OCR of uploaded PDFs

Following the concept of objects in Capacities, there's an encouragement to upload PDFs as a core object type. Unfortunately beyond being able to link and view them there's no way of searching the content. This makes them a "second-class object" because other objects (custom and built-in) are correctly indexed and searchable.
Personally being able to search the contents of PDF documents would be a major plus point over the likes of Notion.

Yes OCR of PDFs and images and including them in the search would be great.

Alexander Schmedes: reason to be optimistic:

To add to this, it would be great if the embedded table of contents was correctly parsed and listed, and even better if it was possible to link directly to a section or page of a pdf.

Quite happy that this move to planned. Yeah!

... just to be sure:
I hope this will also solve the fact that
embedded hyperlinks
in PDFs do not work...?!– or should this be a separate 'ticket'? – @ Steffen Bleher / michael_v_h

+1, this is huge for an Object based tool to become really useful!
