Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v4.0.0-alpha.20180109 with Leptonica
Error in pixReadStream: Pdf reading is not supported
Error in pixRead: pix not read
Error during processing.

How could I solve mine such above?.. many thanks in advance.

Tesseract does not support reading PDF files.

You can try other software, for example OCRmyPDF.

Apparently OCRmyPDF uses Tesseract under the hood, so I think that's important to note.
