ocrmypdf --tesseract-timeout=0 --optimize 3 --skip-text input.pdf output.pdf
Perform OCR only certain pages
------------------------------
You can ask OCRmyPDF to only apply OCR to certain pages.
.. code-block:: bash
ocrmypdf --pages 2,3,13-17 input.pdf output.pdf
Hyphens denote a range of pages and commas separate page numbers. If you prefer
to use spaces, quote all of the page numbers: ``--pages '2, 3, 5, 7'``.
OCRmyPDF will warn if your list of page numbers contains duplicates or
overlap pages. OCRmyPDF does not currently account for document page numbers,
such as an introduction section of a book that uses Roman numerals. It simply
counts the number of virtual pieces of paper since the start.
Regardless of the argument to ``--pages``, OCRmyPDF will optimize all pages in
the file and convert it to PDF/A, unless you disable those options. In this
example, we want to OCR only the title and otherwise change the PDF as little
as possible:
.. code-block:: bash
ocrmypdf --pages 1 --output-type pdf --optimize 0 input.pdf output.pdf
Redo existing OCR
