#229 Tesseract's recognized text is not recovered

Version : 1.2.5

Open a PDF file
Ask for an OCR with tesseract.
The page is processed, but the "OCR tab" remains void.
In log, I get the corersponding lines (I replaced the source file name with <myfile.pdf>) :</myfile.pdf>

When I launch
echo tessedit_create_hocr 1 > hocr.config;tesseract /tmp/gscan2pdf-Lq1D/wFB4NSdVrc.png /tmp/2hXGRZlhDI -l fra +hocr.config
I get /tmp/2hXGRZlhDI.html file with the good content.

The place seems not good, perhaps related to:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/bugs/202/
Is the .html and the end expected?

Still valid in 1.5.2

Apologies for the late response. Tesseract works with gscan2pdf for me. Can you post an example PDF that reproduces the problem?

Hello,
This is no more valid in Mageia 6/cauldron with 1.7.2 release.
Thus, we can close, although Mageia 5 is still a maintained release.
