I will check output of PDF file after hocr output is fixed.

I scanned old Japanese camera book and I will covert it to searchable PDF file.
It has 70 jpeg files may help check our code work well or not.

I have committed out to fix xml escape characters problem my gcv2hocr at GitHub.

Now, hocr-pdf works fine and I can make searchable pdf file from 70 jpeg images from old Japanese camera book.

I made a simple shell script to extract text from images by Google Cloud Vision OCR and make a searchable pdf from them.

#!/bin/sh
a=1
while [ $a -le 100 ]
do
sh ./gcvocr.sh scan00$a.jpg "Your API Code"
echo "Google OCR scan00$a.jpg"
gcv2hocr scan00$a.jpg.json scan00$a.hocr
echo "convert scan00$a.hocr"
a=expr $a + 1
done
python hocr-pdf . > output.pdf
