On my MacBook, hocr2pdf produces a 1.4 mb PDF which freezes Adobe Reader and looks like gibberish in Preview.
I finally did succeed with pdfbeads, but it wasn't entirely straightforward. |
Thank you for the links. I wasn't aware of these applications.

For instance, this formula:
ends up like this:
Here's a formula with superscripts and subscripts that get unaligned:
ends up as
There are also some issues with inline text, when math stuff overlaps a line.
For instance, the bottom of the fraction 7/2 here:
gets cut off and ends up floating beneath the word "unit" here:
This particular issue (usually with a "2") happens a lot in this book, I noticed. |
Please attach a couple example Djvu pages if you can. There are probably some settings adjustments that can be made.

So, as instructed, I'm notifying you! A little searching turned up this bug, where the Ghostscript developers say that some floating point value is being written to the PDF, but "inf" is not valid in the PDF format, even if the floating point is INF. |
Again, please attach an example of the source file and command options that cause the generation of the bad PDF file if you can.
