Nice to see that. I sought for free implementation of MRC and apparently here it is. Unfortunately, I was not able to test the program due to some dependency issues. Nevertheless, it looks very promising. Thank you for sharing info about this software with me.

Could you share the problem you ran into? You can also make an issue here: https://github.com/internetarchive/archive-pdf-tools
Thanks,

Re: How to convert a book to serchable pdf using open source software
Well, actually I am not able to say, what is wrong. I expect that my lack of abilities is reason for that.
When I try to install 'archive-hocr-tools' I have this error message:
Remaining requirements seem to be satisfied, but I am still no sure. Especially, I have Cython-0.29.24, whereas apparently the required version is 0.29.23.
Could you please provide a step-by-step install instruction for less advanced users? It would be really appreciated.
Many thanks for your interest and help.
When I try to install 'archive-hocr-tools' I have this error message:
Code: Select all
$ python3 -m pip install setup.py
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setup.py (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for setup.py
Could you please provide a step-by-step install instruction for less advanced users? It would be really appreciated.
Many thanks for your interest and help.

The package is installable via pip now, via "pip install archive-pdf-tools"
