Hello,

i have several pdf files this files have an OCR Text, but if i merge these pdf´s to one pdf file, the ocr get lost and the quality is very poor.

Can ImageMagick combine/convert ocr pdf file to one pdf file??

Thanks

c:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick>convert "c:\uebergabe\12345\*.pdf" "c:\test\ocr2.pdf"

Try this command:
  • convert -density 400 "c:\uebergabe\12345\*.pdf" -resize 25% "c:\test\ocr2.pdf"

Hello,

you can load there pdf files with an ocr/Searchable text. with an ocr pdf you can search for textstring in the pdf file.

Code: Select all

convert 12345_555_0815_01_01_05.pdf x.pdf
It converts with no problem for me. Nothing is missing.

Of course, the result is a raster (pixel) image. You cannot then search the result for text.
