If you run "tesseract --help" (in 3.03 version) you can see there much more options. Nick implemented to possibility to define control parameter from command line: -c configvar=value set value for control parameter.

Create it that way so user can force type of encoding (jpeg, g4, flate - it would be great if leptonica will support there also jbig2[1] ;-) ) As a default option leave the current behavior (so selectDefaultPdfEncoding choose the type of encoding) [1] https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc > BTW, it was and is clear to me, that a final patch must not contain > out-commented (dead) code. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
