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.

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

-n, --no-image

-s, --sloppy-text

-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
