PDF output not searchable within SumatraPDF

[Chris Cameron]

This command:

$ tesseract.exe 18.jpg test

Gives me "test.txt", which has all the text from 18.jpg, as expected.

This command:

$ tesseract.exe 18.jpg test pdf

Gives me "test.pdf", which doesn't appear to have most of the sentences that exist in test.txt when opened in SumatraPDF. All the PDF text can be highlighted, but when doing a search from within the PDF, only fragments of sentences are found. Opening this same file in Adobe Reader, all text can be found with the find function.

My environment:

$ tesseract.exe -v

tesseract 3.04.00

 leptonica-1.71

  libjpeg 8d : libpng 1.5.18 : libtiff 4.0.3 : zlib 1.2.8

SumatraPDF v2.5.2

Adobe Reader 11.0.07

Can someone help me out with why this might be happening?

Thanks,

Chris

All the files I mention can be found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v5w4zl0c2z1wra1/AACxjmomYL4o-iQEhBrLvNgHa

Incidentally, I now see that Chrome's PDF viewer is also unable to search the PDF.

Thanks,

Chris

hi,

seems you at least get some output.
i wonder if its just tif files but tif files seem to be a complete no go
currently with tesseract if you output a pdf.


additionally you should be able to not add the picture just the text it
has extracted to the pdf which it would make smaller.

greetings,
simon
