It would simplify people's life A LOT, if you could write a version of hocr-pdf that does everything on its own: create the hOCR for all of a pdf's pages, merge them, then merge the resulting file with the pdf. and VOILÀ, no loss in the conversion, no mess, no fuss... Perhaps allowing for changing the engine too.

Why not simply use ocrmypdf?

isspid commented 1 year ago

@stweil one reason could be that ocrmypdf only allows for using tesseract as an engine, out of the box.
