A quick bash script that wraps around tesseract and allows tesseract to work on pdfs of scans

git clone https://git.karma-riuk.com/karma/scantopdf /tmp/scantopdf
sudo cp /tmp/scantopdf/scantopdf /usr/local/bin/scantopdf

Usage
To use this script, follow this steps
- Open a terminal
- Go the location of the file you want to "convert" with the following command
cd <path>
where <path> is the location of the folder where lies the file to convert.
3. Use the command scantopdf and give it, as an argument, the file you want to
convert. If the file name contains spaces, surround it with quotes "
scantopdf "I Promessi Sposi.pdf"
Optionally you can give it the -v flag (before the name of the file), to make
the script verbose, so instead of doing its job without saying anything, it will
print each step that it's doing.
scantopdf -v "La Divina Commedia.pdf"
