what is the best package to read text content from a pdf in js?
But keep in mind, PDFs can be fully or partially made of images, and if you want text out of those, you will need to OCR them. There's tesseract.js for that.

Can anyone comment on the state of the tech or recommend a package that can convert an uploaded photo of handwriting into text ?

WebDev Recommendations to Mimic AWS Textract Demo Functionality
I've never used it - but Tesseract.js looks interesting. Perhaps you can use it as a foundation on which to build something like the AWS tool (which seems to work by overlaying an SVG over the top of the image, then manipulates that SVG when user clicks on a results tag to get the word/phrase's highlight box to display)?

How to implement invoice OCR on React Native
I tried researching a little on this topic, so from what I understand to achieve this feature, I would need a library that supports Optical character Recognition (OCR) such as Tesseract.js or Google ML Kit to do it. However, I'm not too sure if these libraries will be supported on React Native apps.

Word Quake - write words, avoid the shakes, powered by Tesseract.js
It's definitely one of the best for on-the-fly OCR, but I think a server-based implementation using Google's Vision API would be way better. Definitely not mine, the AI used here is way beyond my skill level - link: https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/

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
