In my project I am scanning images on microfilm, then using Tesseract (v. 5.0.0) to create a PDF including the OCR'ed text layer.
The input images are text (monospaced typewriter), and I combine several (2-8 typically) images in a multipage tif. I use the following command in Windows 10— tesseract multipage.tif output --psm 1 pdf This works as expected, producing a multi-page output.pdf. (I added the <--psm 4> after I discovered that when several consecutive lines had word spaces above each other, the program interpreted this as a gap between columns, leading to unwanted results.) As a check in my workflow, I highlight the image in the PDF (CTRL-A) and copy/paste into my editor (notepad++). This pastes the OCR text from all pages in the document. The result is reasonably good except that paragraph and page breaks are not indicated. Line breaks are. If I replace the <pdf> with a <txt> in the command, the resulting text file has a blank line between paragraphs <LF LF> (Linux style, even though I'm using Windows) and a page break <FF> at the end of each page. I would like my PDF text layer to have the more user-friendly display that tesseract deploys in a text file. Is this possible? If so, how?
