I'm trying tesseract for the first time with a png of a multipage document I saved out of a pdf (which itself was just an image).
When I run tesseract, I get an output of the first page, but that's all. I notice that there's a control-L (^L) at the end of the text file.
How do I get the entire file output to txt?

Is it possible to have multiple pages in a png file in the first place?

Provide exact information what you did.
Make sure you use the latest tesseract and leptonica.

Try creating a multipage tiff from your pdf and try.

That's a good question. The png was exported from a pdf, so there may have been some notion of pages encoded into it, but that's a guess. What I can say is that the result is consistent. Running
always yields the first page in foundations-of-mathematics.txt.

I exported a png from a pdf that seemed to be a scanned image of the original text. I installed the latest tesseract and leptonica via Homebrew. I then ran
and it consistently outputs the first page only.

That worked, thank you very much Shree!
I could tell right away that it was working because it was writing to stdout:
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v4.1.0 with Leptonica
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
Page 4
Page 5
Page 6
Page 7
Page 8
Page 9
Page 10
Page 11
Page 12
Page 13
Detected 14 diacritics
Page 14
and so no. And finally I had the txt with all of the text as expected.
Something should be noted somewhere that at least in certain contexts multipage png files -- whatever "multipage" means in the case of these files -- will not render correctly.
