Feature request: In hOCR mode export pdf showing on recognised text.
In hOCR would it be possible to add an option for pdf export where it contains not only the recognised text but also the image of the recognised text.
I know this is partially possible when exporting to pdf by setting the Output mode to PDF with invisible text overlay. However, this shows the whole original image, not just the recognise text.
Here is a mockup that I created in GIMP to explain further:

Shouldn't be particularly hard to implement, but I'm curious, what's the use case?
It's purely just to be able to only see what in the recognition process was successful. Of course exporting only the text and not the image shows this but adding the image of the text adds an extra visual layer.
