Hello
In the PPM I downloaded this OCR system, together with;
- gimagereader_3.1.2+git368fa8f
- languages files for french and dutch (dutch language : tesseract-ocr-nld_3.04.00-1 )
It is a quite good system to convert a PDF file to a text file I can put in libreoffice, to modify it
In french, it works.
My only problem is that the dutch language file doesn't work. I have a message telling me that the dutch dictionary is not there.

How could I do ?

Thank you

You can get the missing language file at https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata
Think the one for Dutch is https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessda ... raineddata

Either download/move that to the same directory as the other language file, or specify it using the commandline.

PPM package search: No matching package name
my repositories are:

• ubuntu-xenial-universe

• ubuntu-xenial-main

• ubuntu-xenial-multiverse

• puppy-xenial

• puppy-noarch

and my machine runs xenialpup 32

Ubuntu moves the old repositories that they no longer support, Xenial files should still be available but at a different url than where PPM is looking. Probably need to point PPM at that new / different url to find all the old packages. Someone here should know the new url.

Did you do a PPM update?

Also try Quickpet -> Info -> Xenialpup updates to fix the repositories location info for PPM.

then do PPM database update

I used software (Adobe Acrobat PRO XI) till I discovered online services.
