after deskew remove grey frame or cut like a A4?
Hello,
I am running OCRmyPDF with a CLI command on fresh scanned files.
Deskewing is working fine but it keeps a bit of the grey frame. Is there a chance to make it plane white and a rectangulare cut?
One more question/feature request.
My scannes are containing several pages. Can it be that deskewing is only working on the first one?
Blanking out content on the edges like is very hard to get right, if you want it to work safely and reliably on thousands of pages without reviewing them all afterwards. Edge removal is better done by the scanner software since it can tell where the page actually is. I realize these black edges are messy and rescanning is not usually an option.
Deskewing should be attempted on all pages. Some pages don't have a clear dominant skew angle, however. If you have a file that does not seem to deskew correctly please share it.
Can I share the file ONLY with you? I do not want to show it to everybody.
So you see no chance for black edges to be removed without scanner software?
You can encrypt it with my public key as described here: https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF/wiki
That is the same key that is used to sign releases.
Let me put it this way. It's easy enough to get features like this right for 98-99% of pages. But an error rate of 1-2% per page is unacceptable at the kind of volume people use ocrmypdf for.
