Excellent, glad to hear that it's working now

Hi all, do you see an option to rename the outputfiles regarding it's content?

Or can I start my own script after ocr process and before the safe process?

 

Thanks for the great Docker!

Is is possible to dump screenshots like a png or Jpeg into the import folder and have the container interpret the file or does this only work with PDF's?

Thanks!

@Br0Ser Apologies for missing this a month ago. There's no mechanism for renaming based on content or integrating external code within ocrmypdf-auto today, but you can use it as one stage in a "pipeline." If you've got your own script, you can have ocrmypdf-auto write to an intermediate directory, then have your script pick up new files from the intermediate location, rename or edit them by content, and write to the final output/storage location. I do this with paperless-ng as the next stage of my pipeline.

 

@Chanchalanch Only supports PDFs today... There have been a few requests for supporting image files, but I don't expect to have the time to implement this myself in the near future. If you're handy with Python, I'm very happy to take a pull request

@cmccambridge is there any option to activate the feature "rotate image automatically"?

Sometimes I have documents in landscape and I dont want to rotate them manually

 

 

Seems like this compresses my PDFs when it run more than I want to (I am perfectionist)

 

The documentation on OCRmyPDF itself says there are settings for it, "Optimization", that says the command

--optimize N

(N is number depending on what you want)

But I havent figured out how to do it in the Docker, so do anyone know how?

Have you tried to set the option in the "ocr.config" (usually in appdata/ocrmypdf-auto)?

Tried, still compresses it to about 1,5mb per image in the PDF. (they are high resolution)

What does "status 2" mean? 

 

I'm trying to integrate ocrmypdf into my Nextcloud by presenting the input & output directories as external storage (SMB) shares within Nextcloud directory structure. file1.pdf and file2.pdf are two copies of the same file, the first placed through Nextcloud and the second copied directly to the SMB share. The second one produces an output but the first one does not.  For both files the SMB user is the same.

Answering my own question: status 2 means it's not a PDF. I found out that NC was encrypting files placed into external storage, so while it still had a .pdf extension the file was no longer readable outside of my Nextcloud instance. I found the setting for external storage encryption and disabled that. Working well now.

I'm facing similar problems @artwodeetwo.

I uploaded about 10-12 scans via my HP scanner to my defined input folder but only 2 of the files are processed correctly and moved to the output directory. All other files staying in my input folder. 

For notice - this "scan to ocr-file process" worked for months (nearly a year) without any problems and I didn't changed a thing. 

 

I get the following output in my logs - did you find a doc where I can find what status 11 means?

Thanks for any help.

Edited December 1, 20214 yr by Maddeen

I didn’t find any docs on what each status code meant, but I was able to root cause my issue by setting the ocrmypdf docker to run in debug mode. Environment variable: OCR_VERBOSITY set to “debug”.

Helllo, I am new here. I used the app with english and greek pdfs and it works fine. In greek it is not as good as other solutions.

I would like to ask: When I put (in the input folder) a very large file (e.g. 600mb) it takes an hour to convert and it uses less than 10% of cpu. Can we force it to use more cpu resources to accelerate the process?

Thank you.

 

PS: I have an 8 core 16 threads cpu and the other apps and Unraid works in 1%. 

I'm having an issue getting the app to OCR files with certain languages: it runs properly with some languages chosen in "Additional Languages," but not with any of the following: chi-sim, chi-sim-vert, chi-tra, chi-tra-vert, jpn-vert (but jpn works). I've tried a few European languages (deu, ita) and they all seem to work fine.

With the languages that don't work, ocrmypdf sees the file and will create any folders in the output directory, so it's not a permissions issue, but I see in the log that it's outputting "status 3" when it reads the PDF and no output file is created.

With the problem languages, the log looks like this:

2025-01-06 18:20:34 - Processing: /input/testfile.pdf -> /output/testfile.pdf
2025-01-06 18:20:37 - Processing complete in 3.600000 seconds with status 3: /input/testfile.pdf
TESTOCR_PROCESS_RESULT/input/testfile.pdf/output/testfile.pdf33.600000

 

Update: If the "result code" is the same as the exit codes described in the OCRmyPDF documentation, the 3 means "missing_dependency". Not sure why this would happen only for certain languages.

 

Further update: I turned up the verbosity of the logging, and see the following:

 

2025-01-10 14:22:38 [ThreadPoolExecutor-0_0] - Processing: /input/test_file.pdf -> /output/test_file.pdf

]

added meaning of exit code

I really like ocrmypdf, but how can I search for documents by usings its content? I have a lot of ocr´ed files but cant work with it.
