+**Describe the bug**
+A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
+
+**To Reproduce**
+What command line or API call were you trying to run?
+
+```bash
+ocrmypdf  ...arguments... input.pdf output.pdf
+```
+
+Run with verbosity or higher `-v1` to see more detailed logging. This information may be helpful.
+
+**Example file**
+Include an input PDF or image that demonstrates your issue.
+
+Please provide an input file with no personal or confidential information. At your option you may `GPG-encrypt the file <https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF/wiki>` for OCRmyPDF's author only.
+
+Links to files hosted elsewhere are perfectly acceptable. You could also look in ``tests/resources`` and see if any of those files reproduce your issue.
+
+(Exceptions: Issues with installation, command line argument parsing, test suite failures.Issues without example files usually cannot be resolved.)

+**Screenshots**
+If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
+
+**System**
+ - OS: [e.g. Linux, Windows, macOS]
+ - OCRmyPDF Version: ``ocrmypdf --version``
+ - How did you install ocrmypdf? Did you use a system package manager, `pip`, or a Docker image?

 slow network.
 
-Watched folders with watcher.py
--------------------------------
+A configuration manager such as Docker Compose could be used to ensure that the
+service is always available.
 
-The watcher service may also be run natively.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    pip3 install -r reqs/watcher.txt
-
-    env OCR_INPUT_DIRECTORY=/mnt/input-pdfs \

-        python3 watcher.py
-
-Watched folders with CLI
-------------------------
-
-To set up a "hot folder" that will trigger OCR for every file inserted,
-use a program like Python
-`watchdog <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog>`__ (supports all major
-OS).
-
-One could then configure a scanner to automatically place scanned files
-in a hot folder, so that they will be queued for OCR and copied to the
-destination.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   pip install watchdog
-
-watchdog installs the command line program ``watchmedo``, which can be
-told to run ``ocrmypdf`` on any .pdf added to the current directory
-(``.``) and place the result in the previously created ``out/`` folder.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   cd hot-folder
-   mkdir out
-   watchmedo shell-command \
-       --patterns="*.pdf" \
-       --ignore-directories \
-       --command='ocrmypdf "${watch_src_path}" "out/${watch_src_path}" ' \
-       .  # don't forget the final dot
-
-On file servers, you could configure watchmedo as a system service so it
-will run all the time.
-
-For more complex behavior you can write a Python script around to use
-the watchdog API. You can refer to the watcher.py script as an example.

+AWS Lambda is not viable
+------------------------
+
+AWS Lambda and its equivalents have low limits on execution time and payload
+size, relative to OCRmyPDF's needs. As of this writing, the request/response
+payload for AWS Lambda was 6 MB, which means many PDFs will not fit.

+OCRmyPDF will warn if your list of page numbers contains duplicates or

+counts the number of virtual pieces of paper since the start.

+be completed for you.
+
+Next you should install the `base-devel package group

+
+As an alternative to this manual procedure, consider using an `AUR helper
+<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers>`__. Such a tool will
+automatically fetch, build and install the AUR package, resolve dependencies
+(including dependencies on AUR packages), and ease the upgrade procedure.
+
+If you have any difficulties with installation, check the repository package
+page.
+
+.. note::
+
+    The OCRmyPDF AUR package currently omits the JBIG2 encoder. OCRmyPDF works

+Performance
+===========

+If running OCRmyPDF quickly is your main goal, you can use settings such as:

-    Creates temporary directory with symlinks to targets.
+    For the test suite we need a way override executables, so that we can
+    substitute desired results such as errors or just speed up OCR.
 
+    On POSIXish platforms we create a temporary folder with overrides that
+    are symlinks to the executables we want to run. We do not actually override
+    PATH. We also set an environment variable _OCRMYPDF_TEST_PATH, which
+    OCRmyPDF's subprocess wrapper will check before they use regular PATH. The
+    output is a folder full of executables we are overriding. We can override
+    multiple executables. The end result is a folder we can use in a PATH-style
+    lookup to override some executables:
+
+        /tmp/abcxyz/tesseract -> ocrmypdf/tests/resources/spoof/tesseract_crash.py
+        /tmp/abcxyz/gs -> ocrmypdf/tests/resources/spoof/gs_backflip.py
+
+    Windows needs extra help from us because usually, only the Administrator
+    can create symlinks. Instead we create small Python scripts that call
+    the programs we want, implementing the effect of a symlink. This is cleaner
+    than creating Windows executables or trying to use non-Python scripts.
+    The temporary folder generated for Windows could like:
+
+        %TEMP%\abcxyz\tesseract.py:
+            (script that runs ocrmypdf/tests/resources/spoof/tesseract_crash.py)
+        %TEMP%\abcxyz\gswin32c.py:
+            (script that runs ocrmypdf/tests/resources/spoof/gs_backflip.py)
+        %TEMP%\abcxyz\gswin64c.py:
+            (script that runs ocrmypdf/tests/resources/spoof/gs_backflip.py)
+
+    We also address one quirk here, that Ghostscript may be known as gswin32c
+    or gswin64c, depending on what the user installed (regardless of Windows
+    itself). On POSIX, Ghostscript is just 'gs'.  We handle the special case here
+    too.
+
+    All of this is intimately dependent on the machinery in ocrmypdf.exec.run().
+    In particular, for Windows, that code has to know that if there is a .py
+    file, it needs to run it with Python, since Windows does not like being
+    asked to execute files.
+
+    We don't overload PATH directly because we have some tests where we call
+    ocrmypdf as a subprocess (to exercise the command line interface) and some
+    tests where we call it as an API.
