Creating PDFs with OCR text layers from digitized content

We know that many of our users appreciate content packaged as PDF. When we were looking to start using OCR, we knew that PDF-with-text-layer is one way we'd like to deliver that. But delivering PDFs is not very common in our community of software practice, and we found that there was a lot of domain knowledge and tooling landscape and options to figure out. I will provide specific details of the automated pipeline we ended up building, primarily using open source unix command-line tools, and the choices and tradeoffs we made, to create multi-page PDFs with text layers from high-resolution digitized images.
