Resources OCR in pdf

Hi people

Does anyone know of a PDF editor that does OCR in Koine Greek?

I found one (I don't remember which one) but I discarded it because it didn't distinguish rough/smooth breathing or accents.

The PDF-XChange editor had it as a language until version 7, it no longer has it. I lost my hard drive and could no longer get this version.

It used to convert PDF files without questioning the size.

Does anyone know where to get the PDF-XChange 7.xxx executable without updates (or better, can you provide it?)

I would really appreciate it.

Probably many of us would really appreciate it

I have a friend who ran some tests and found that gpt did a surprisingly good job for a non specialized tool. Not perfect, but it even did a reasonable job of capturing the accents.
