NAME

       hocr2pdf - hOCR to PDF converter of the ExactImage toolkit

SYNOPSIS

       hocr2pdf [option...] {-i | --input} input-file  {-o | --output} output-file

       hocr2pdf {-h | --help}

DESCRIPTION

       ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it
       allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths natively, resulting in low memory
       and computational requirements.

       hocr2pdf creates well layouted, searchable PDF files from hOCR (annotated HTML) input
       obtained from an OCR system.

OPTIONS

       -i file, --input file
           Read image from the specified file. Note that input hOCR is read from the standard
           input.

       -o file, --output file
           Save output PDF to the specified file.

       -n, --no-image
           Don't place the image over the text. By default the text layer is hidden behind the
           image.

       -s, --sloppy-text
           Sloppily place text, group words, do not draw single glyphs.

       -r n, --resolution n
           Override resolution of the input image to n dpi. The default resolution (if not
           specified in the input file) is 300 dpi.

       --quality
           Quality setting used for writing compressed images. Integer range 0-100, the default
           is 75

       --compress
           Compression method for writing images e.g. ascii85, hex, flate, jpeg, jpeg2000, ...
           Default based on bit-depth

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

EXAMPLE

           $ hocr2pdf -i scan.tiff -o test.pdf < cuneiform-out.hocr
