Control: retitle -1 mupdf: Enable OCR support
Control: tags -1 + patch

Version: 1.21.1+ds2-1+deb12u1
Hi Alex, and the mupdf maintainers,
The fact that pymupdf is not able to use OCR seem to be related to the
fact that mupdf is compiled without support for it, and so I'm
reassigning this issue to src:mupdf.
I'm attaching a patch to enable OCR using Tesseract and Leptonica.
This would enable an use via pymudf, amongst other things.
It would mean all mupdf users would fetch tesseract and leptonica, but
the data files aren't actually required.
Would you be keep to add such dependencies, to add support for doing
OCR? It would enable a set of use cases, especially automatically doing
OCR and add a layer of invisible text on top of PDFs built by mupdf.
All the best,
Alexis
PS: That's my first time with the BTS, and so I hope I did things right :-)
