Hi Eduardo Grosclaude,

Thank you for the response.

May be I try to but it this way, After I've converted my markdown (Text + images) to pdf, then I try to open up the pdf document and click on the images, I should be able to select the text inside the images and without send to any OCR program again to recover the text that inside the image.

For example:

In markdown, I only able to select the text from my statement (text) but not the text inside the images (because is in .jpg or .png)

After using pandoc with wkhtmltopdf engine converted my markdown become pdf, I am assuming my pdf document now able allow me to select the text for both statement and image 

Thanks

Best regards,

WeiWooi

I think we still do not understand what you mean by being "OCR capable". Perhaps you want to submit your final PDF to an OCR program to recover the text that is inside the graphics? Then the answer would be yes, inasmuch the fonts and colors are readable to the OCR program... but this has nothing to do with Pandoc as far as I see. Any PDF with graphics, pandoc-generated or not, should be "OCR-capable", if this is what you mean.

If you mean that the text be extracted from the graphics by some other means, maybe you should give a look to SVG graphic format. With SVG text is embodied in the graphics and can even be edited.
