For the application of Tesseract as OCR engine for texts (with or without images, B/W or colour), everything else than lossless compression is stupid.So respectfully stated, I cannot accept your "work-around".
Please see my patch (on Github). It fully fixes the issue - we are talking only about the PDF mode-, and the resulting files are smaller (I already checked this). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
