I think rather than try to OCR, please extract the text and then run a conversion script to change the letters with diacritical marks.
eg. you would do the following substitution using sed for the sample text from page 11 s/Å/Ā/g s/å/ā/g s/®/ṛ/g s/ß/ṣ/g s/∫/ṇ/g s/î/ī/g s/Ê/Ī/g s/¸/Ś/g s/Ω/ś/g s/ü/ū/g Also attaching sed script as a utf-8 text file.
