<div>If you already have PDFs – why are you also storing images? PDF is an open international standard (ISO 32000) that offers not only a richer content model (including text, vector and raster) but also metadata, marginalia and more using modern compression
methods. TIFF on the other hand is a proprietary standard (that hasn’t been updated since 1992) that only handles raster images & metadata.</div>

<br>
I am using pdtotxt to extract text from pdf file in a digital newspaper archive I am creating for a local public library. So far, it's working great. But - I am using up a far amount of disk space and would like to figure out a way to create an OCR'd pdf from
an image and the bounding box data. That way I would not have to store the PDF files as well as the images. Is there a way to do that?<br>
<br>
Thanks - <br>
<br>
Mark<br>
