As Tesseract does not work for PDF, it may be easier to use FineReader for this format because this supplementary conversion may somewhat degrade the output. If you wish to convert PDF to image format, you can use imagemagick. There are also some online converters.

As far as image format is concerned, if I had not been successfully using Tesseract for 18 months for full fiction scans, I could believe you. Tesseract is working well, now. Using Archlinux with Tesseract 4.1.1. for French or English language with gimageReader.
