The question at this point is not about their inability to follow his request -- he has said he can grade it either way. His concern--and I tend to agree it's hinky--is that this is a way to circumvent plagiarism and AI detection.

To solve this I asked him to send me the files, thinking I could put it through an OCR program, extract the text, and save that as a .docx for him. I did not count on the enshittification of Adobe's OCR feature in the cloud, or the proliferation of fly-by-night crap offerings.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a free or very cheap OCR program (ideally that is platform agnostic) so I can get this done this weekend without going down the "how much Windows malware are you going to try to load on my machine" rabbithole?
