Error while using hocr-pdf file about hocr-tools HOT 11 CLOSED

are you able to generate searchable pdf ?

Yes, I see a searchable PDF, but I am working on Linux.

For windows terminal the encoding can be a problem. You can check the encoding for python in windows terminal by starting python and then type

>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding

If that is now UTF-8 then you can try to run the command with PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 in front, i.e.

PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 hocr-pdf . > out.pdf

i got pdf as output but it was just a normal pdf i.e. not in searchable format.

This is with the git bash on windows, right? Can you upload your result here?

Can you provide a hOCR file which causes this error? How did you create it?

from hocr-tools.

I used Tesseract 4.0.0 to generate hocr
Hocr File

This is the image for above generate Hocr

Is there any other solution for getting table from hocr data ?

This works for me as well after I have renamed the image and converted it to a jpg file.

1. Do you have the jpg file also in your directory?
2. What is your environment? Linux or Windows?
3. What Python version do you use? python -V
4. What is the encoding of your bash which Python uses?

@shekarnode There is text in your generated PDF and I can search for text as well.

I was using adobe reader and all the time was not able to search ,now when I opened the pdf in browser I found out it was searchable.

Thanks @zuphilip for helping out.

The pdf produced by Tesseract is also searchable.
