yes, thanks. I was thinking about an option --force-lossless-compression , but after having inspected the http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/tesseract.1.html documentation manual page, I think, that Tesseract does not support (apart from a few) command line options, Instead, it (mainly) supports to have options in a config file. So I will modify my code so that lossless compression can be forced by enabling it by means of a switch in the config file. Question 1 ======== Please can you let me know, if you like my approach (config parameter), or if you would also support my proposal for a command line switch (--force-lossless-compression). BTW, it was and is clear to me, that a final patch must not contain out-commented (dead) code. Question 2 ======== Where we are at it, I have a question: I may be wrong, but inspecting the code I found some pieces indicating a "multi-page" actions. My question: Is Tesseract also supporting the OCR-ing of a PDF having many pages ? At the moment I have a script (using pdftk/PDFToolkit) to split a PDF into single image files, which I then convert one-by-one via Tesseract * * pdf option, which I then have to collate again by another script into the final single mixed-mode output PDF file. Are there initiatives to integrate this into Tesseract ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
