Hi all,

can i use tesseract to open multipage pdfs directly?
we have multi function printers which produce pdfs with images which can
be run through ocr.

how can i acomplish that for tesseract?
do i need a second program for that?

greetings,
simon

Yes, you will need to convert PDF to image formats that Tesseract accepts, such as TIFF, PNG... There are third-party software for that, such as GhostScript, ImageMagick, etc.
