OK, I appreciate the suggestion and clarification, but the aptitude package manager doesn't seem to have a later version than the one that I have now. I suppose I should build it from source, but your own page for installing from source suggests using aptitude first. tesseract-ocr is already the newest version (4.00~git2844-607e8fd8-2). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Also, how could there be a permissions issue when the PDF is created, just not sized correctly? I would expect the PDF to not be created at all if that were the case.
