Can someone help me set up Tesseract in k2pdfopt
I'm not used to coding at all, so have run into a dead end on this. I have k2pdfopt installed on my macbook pro using OS10.9.4 and that is working well. I have been able to use it successfully to optimize files to read on my new kindle paperwhite. My problem is that I have a lot of PDFs from photocopies and want to set up tesseract to convert them. I downloaded and installed the Tesseract files and also RCenvironment to set the environment variables.

I think I just don't know enough about this to figure out the correct value to go with the variable: TESSDATA_PREFIX

I thought I needed to put in a path map like: /Library/Java/tesseract-ocr/
but obviously this isn't working. When I try it, k2pdfopt says: Could not find Tesseract data (env var TESSDATA_PREFIX = (not assigned)).
Using GOCR v0.49.

Can someone help me figure out what I need to do?
I apologize if this has been answered in earlier posts, as I just have not had the time to comb through everything to problem solve this.

Thank you
