Hi Kim, One solution would be to use the pdfimages utility from Poppler to extract all the images from the PDF into a directory. You would then place the corresponding hocr files in the same directory and then run the hocr-pdf utility from hocr-tools.
Both software packages are readily available on many Linux systems. https://poppler.freedesktop.org/ https://github.com/tmbdev/hocr-tools Thanks, Rasan NYU Digital Library On Wed, May 6, 2020 at 2:42 PM Kimberly Kennedy <kimberlymkenn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have an unusual situation.
