1. Provide also example files (input, output) 2. Tesseract does not accept pdf (it needs an image as input), so at least 3. seems to be a problem of OCRmyPDF.
Provide also the output of "tesseract --version" command Zdenko po 3. 7. 2023 o 21:24 Filippos Koliopanos <kro1...@gmail.com> napísal(a): > > Hello, > > I have been trying to make PDFs searchable using OCRmyPDF and Tesseract, > but despite following recommended steps, I have been unable to get the > desired results. > > Here is a summary of the issues I have faced: > > 1.
