Not so much an issue as a note: recent versions of Tesseract can recognize text and output the result in a PDF overlay:

tesseract infile.tif outfile pdf

This saves mucking about with hocr or any other intermediate text format.

Interesting. I see something about this in release notes but don't see any other reference to this. Will have to build from trunk and check this out. Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

Interesting. I see something about this in release notes
https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/ReleaseNotes but don't
see any other reference to this. Will have to build from trunk and check
this out. Thanks!

Current Ubuntu version is 3.03, should you wish to avoid a rebuild.
Homebrew on OS X, annoyingly, is still at 3.02.

cheers,
Stewart
