<p>OCR Foreign Language PDFs with Python and KNIME (with Tesseract and PDFium)<br><br>This workflow shows you how to OCR any language from PDFs which are text-based or image-based using Python and KNIME. If the desired language does not show up in the drop-down when configuring the OCR Component, additional languages can be set by tweaking the script.<br></p><p>Environment needed as stated below.
