I'm trying to use tesseract and hocr2pdf on a series of .tif files in a folder.
Using ls *.tif | xargs -I% tesseract % % -l fra hocr
produces the html files which have the same file name but with .html added. But ls *.tif |xargs -I% hocr2pdf -i % -n -o %.pdf < %.html
is not working. I get the error message %.html not found
. It seems xargs is having problems with the <
in the hocr2pdf command.
How do I circumvent this?
