I scanned a 152 page music book and I'd like to OCR it so it would be searchable but what I'm getting is all garbled looking. I don't even know what I'm seeing. The original is very nice and high quality.

Hello Dave,

My name is Matt and I am a member of the LEADTOOLS Support Team.
I will be happy to assist you with any questions your may have.

I am unaware of the code that you are using to convert your images to PDF, but from your description and the image provided it looks like for your use-case, you will need to set the ImageOverText property to true. ImageOverText adds a raster image overlay to the top of each pages in the resulting document. In your case the output PDF represents how the OCR Engine sees the document.
https://www.leadtools.co...tions-imageovertext.html

Code:
using (IOcrEngine ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD))
{
//Startup the LEADTOOLS OCR Engine
ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, null);

PdfDocumentOptions _pdfOptions = ocrEngine.DocumentWriterInstance.GetOptions(DocumentFormat.Pdf) as PdfDocumentOptions;
_pdfOptions.ImageOverText = true;
ocrEngine.DocumentWriterInstance.SetOptions(DocumentFormat.Pdf, _pdfOptions);

//Run the AutoRecognizeManager and specify PDF format
ocrEngine.AutoRecognizeManager.Run(inputFile, outputFile, DocumentFormat.Pdf, null, null);
Console.WriteLine($"OCR output saved to {outputFile}");
}

If you have any further questions please feel free to reach back out to us.

Thanks,
