Common error messages
|
|||
|
|
=====================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Page already has text
|
|||
|
|
---------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. code::
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ERROR - 1: page already has text! – aborting (use --force-ocr to force OCR)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You ran ocrmypdf on a file that already contains printable text or a hidden OCR text layer (it can't quite tell the difference). You probably don't want to do this, because the file is already searchable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As the error message suggests, your options are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``ocrmypdf --force-ocr`` to :ref:`rasterize <raster-vector>` all vector content and run OCR on the images. This is useful if a previous OCR program failed, or if the document contains a text watermark.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``ocrmypdf --skip-text`` to skip OCR and other processing on any pages that contain text. Text pages will be copied into the output PDF without modification.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Input file 'filename' is not a valid PDF
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OCRmyPDF passes files through qpdf, a program that fixes errors in PDFs, before it tries to work on them. In most cases this happens because the PDF is corrupt and
|
|||
|
|
truncated (incomplete file copying) and not much can be done.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can try rewriting the file with Ghostscript or pdftk:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``gs -o output.pdf -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite input.pdf``
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``pdftk input.pdf cat output output.pdf``
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes Acrobat can repair PDFs with its `Preflight tool <https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/correcting-problem-areas-preflight-tool.html>`_.
