Improve handling of older documents by OCR and AI

JabRef, comprehensive literature management software, currently supports both handling metadata and text-based PDF documents. However, a significant limitation arises with scanned PDFs, particularly historical articles, which are not text-searchable due to their image-based format. This project aims to bridge this gap by integrating advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, enabling full-text search in scanned PDFs.
