Having trouble OCR-ing a 70MB pdf file

Lauriso · Yesterday, 01:33 PM

Hey all, I hope this is the appropriate forum section to post this.

I have a PDF of a book I downloaded from archive.og, and have been trying to OCR it with multiple offline programs and online services, but to no avail. I always get unspecified errors and am not sure if it's to do with the file size.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You need pre-process it with The Gimp or Image Magick or K2pdfopt.

Don't use online tools.

You don't write which tools and OS you are using. It's not the file size.
