no text extraction for pdf with images and OCR
Hi,

I tried to convert pdf files containing the recognised text inside the original images of the book: http://www.freidok.uni-freiburg.de/v...f_der_Zahl.pdf

As you can see, the pdf is made of pictures (images) but you can select the text inside, and even make a "copy all" and paste it in a text software.

If I convert the pdf to epub with --no-images, there is absolutely no text inside the epub.
If I convert with images, only images (reduced) are in the epub.

Is there a way to get the text of such pdf without the images of the pages ?

(calibre version 0.9.28; win XP sp3; adobe pdf 10.1.4)

Thanks for your help

François
