[Bug 623438] Re: Font size not correct in merged sandvich PDF

 

But how can the hocr2pdf build the sandvich PDF correctly, if no font information is given?
For sure this can be provided only by the OCR because you know the font face and and other parameters. If you do not provide that information, the hocr2pdf can't find it out just of the given bounding boxes.

Bug description:
After processing with Cuneiform for Linux 1.0.0 and hOCR to PDF converter, version 0.7.4 (should be the most current version) I get a sandvich pdf that looks nice until I select text.

See the sample 5AADFEE1-0000.* files in the attachment and the result.pdf.
The effect is shown in screen087.png

For another file (Test10pages.pdf) the effect is either worse - basically I cannot really select any more text to copy because I only can guess where to move with the mouse.

It looks like that the font size in the HTML is somehow not correct - I am not an expert, but this link might help you:
