Hi everyone. I'm still pretty new to Iris.ai and mostly using it for learning/research. I've hit a snag and I'm hoping someone has a fix.

I tried uploading some scanned PDFs from old articles, and the uploader just fails. It says it can't process them, which I guess makes sense because they're images, not text. But I really need to get these into my project. Has anyone found a good workaround for this? Do I need to OCR them myself first, and if so, what's a simple (preferably free) tool to do that? Thanks for any tips! 😅
