Luis Filipe Nassif commented on TIKA-2749:
------------------------------------------
Hi [~rleir]. Sorry, I meant our main goal when OCRing pdfs is to get the text
from pdfs containing full page scanned images. We don't bother too much about
logos, graphs and other small images between text.
And about converting tif to pdf before OCR, I think it will not improve OCR
quality, because contrast should not be changed. You will still have to adjust
it manually.
> OCR on PDFs should "just work" out of the box

> There are now two different ways (with various parameters) to trigger OCR on
> inline images within PDFs. The user has to 1) understand that these are
> available and then 2) elect to turn one of those on.
> I think we should make OCR'ing on PDFs "just work" perhaps with a hybrid
> strategy between the 2 options. Users should still be allowed to configure
> as they wish, of course.
