Tesseract.download_pdf_font

Tesseract.download_pdf_font — Function

download_pdf_font(;
    target::AbstractString = "tessdata"
    baseUrl::AbstractString = PDF_FONT_URL,
    force::Bool = false
)::Bool

Download the PDF font file. Returns false if there is a problem downloading the files.

Arguments:

T	Name	Default	Description
K	target	`tessdata`	The directory to save the PDF font to.
K	baseUrl	...	The base URL to download the file from.
K	force	`false`	Should the file be downloaded even it it exists?

Details:

By default "pdf.ttf" is downloaded from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessconfigs. The client can specify a different URL to download the file from. This file is needed when asking Tesseract to generate a PDF.

Normally if the file has already been downloaded then it is not downloaded again. However if force is true then the file is downloaded and the existing file is overwritten.
