I recommend looking at pdfbeads. It's in ruby and the documentation is mostly in Russian ( http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/9752/10692/pdfbeads.ru.html ), but it provides both a library and an easy to use executiable to build PDFs out of hOCR files and images. You literally just point it at a directory with page images and hOCR files and it spits out a PDF. Very handy.

Also, the DIY Book Scanner forum (diybookscanner.org ) is a great resource if you're into these sorts of things...

Interesting. Printed for future reference. Thank you.

BTW, I did finally get Image::OCR::Tesseract to make, make test, and make install correctly. I did not have the correct/proper libraries installed for Tesseract's supporting Leptonica library. Now I need to find a PDF library similar to libtff and libpng.
