OCRmyPDF v17.5.0

v17.5.0
Added 2
  • Support for the ``end`` alias in ``--pages``, denoting the last page of the document (e.g. ``--pages 3-end`` OCRs from page 3 through the final page)
  • Added ``--ghostscript-jpeg-quality`` and ``--ghostscript-jpeg-maxdpi`` advanced options for tuning Ghostscript's PDF/A output
Fixed 3
  • Fixed pypdfium2 rasterizer clipping content when the CropBox was smaller than the MediaBox (e.g. JSTOR or cropped PDFs)
  • Fixed Form XObject cycle detection in the optimizer's image xref scan that previously produced floods of recursion warnings and could hang for minutes
  • Tesseract config errors are now surfaced as ``TesseractConfigError`` with actionable guidance instead of crashing later with a confusing ``FileNotFoundError``
  • Added support for the end alias in --pages, denoting the last page of the document. For example, --pages 3-end OCRs from page 3 through the final page. {issue}1615
  • Added --ghostscript-jpeg-quality and --ghostscript-jpeg-maxdpi advanced options for tuning Ghostscript's PDF/A output. The optimizer's --jpeg-quality remains the recommended file-size control.
  • Fixed pypdfium2 rasterizer clipping content when the CropBox was smaller than the MediaBox (e.g. JSTOR or cropped PDFs). {issue}1685
  • Fixed Form XObject cycle detection in the optimizer's image xref scan. Self-referential or DAG-shaped Form graphs (notably from PowerPoint exports) previously produced floods of recursion warnings and could hang for minutes. {issue}1321
  • Tesseract config errors are now surfaced as TesseractConfigError with actionable guidance, instead of crashing later with a confusing FileNotFoundError on the missing hOCR output. {issue}1687
  • Refreshed the Chinese README translation. Thanks @cislunarspace.
  • Internal refactoring of the _exec and subprocess modules to separate probing from execution.
  • CI dependency updates.
