Hi Chris, I opened the pdfs in Adobe Reader as well as Foxit Reader on Windows7, and the page flickers with large size text but then seems to display normally - zoom 100% also seems to be regular output only.
Tesseract now has a 'pdf' option, so you don't need to do 'hocrpdf'. Try the following: tesseract -l deu -psm 3 "$page" "$page" pdf If you also need hocr, you can give the command as tesseract -l deu -psm 3 "$page" "$page" hocr pdf I'll test later with the git version of tesseract and post the pdfs for you.
