Textcleaner and multi-page docs

[mstone]

I can't seem to get textcleaner to run against multi-page docs like PDFs and TIFF. Every time I do the result document is truncated to one page, even if I use a convert-friendly wildcard like out_%d.tif for my outfile argument. Is it a known issue that textcleaner should only be used on single-page docs? I suppose I could split the docs into individual pages prior to cleaning, but I was hoping to avoid that step.

Currently, the majority of my scripts do not work for multi-page image formats. There may be a a few very simple ones that do, but I have no idea which ones work and which do not. They were not originally designed for mult-page formats. You will have to separate them, run the scripts, then combine them. You can do that in a script loop. That would be what I would have to do internally to modify them to make them work. Sorry!

I will put a message on the my home page about this. I just never gave it a thought.

P.S. PDF files are a special issue since the file size depends upon the density you use when reading in the image. So be cautious of that.

OK, understood. Thanks for the quick reply. At least I can stop trying different permutations of inputs looking for the magic incantation to make it handle multi-page docs!

Splitting the doc into pages and re-assembling will work, just not something I wanted to do if it was easily handled in the convert-clean step.

Thanks again. Love the good work you do!
