I think you got your terms mixed up. Most of the time OCR means "Optical
Character Recognition" and means to extract characters from an image.

But I guess you wanted to know whether the text in a PDF generated by Pandoc is
treated as text by the PDF viewer, the answer is, it depends. I can only speak
for wkhtmltopdf as driver, and the answer is yes.
