Some tiny personal programs I've written
Funny, I also wrote some code to solve one of my printer problems. It doesn't do double-sided scanning so the script waits for two recently PDFs in a folder (while trying to be smart about not picking incompatible PDFs) and merge them in the right way: https://github.com/RomainGehrig/PDFCollate
I could have worked the same amount of hours for a client and use the money to buy a duplex scanner, but where's the fun in that ?

A better document viewer
If by "like a photocopy" you mean the file contains images of text rather than text, the MacOS viewer presumably does OCR on the images. I don't know if there's a Linux document viewer with that capability built-in, but a quick search turned up the standalone tool OCRmyPDF.

OCR pdf and just keep the OCR text
Fair enough, maybe this might work for you, it should seperate the text from image anyway and if you have Adobe acrobat it should be able delete the background too with the edit function. It may already be able to do that if you haven't tried it
