OCR not working: It shows Dismiss All Errors on top right ?

The "Dismiss All Errors" message with OCR typically indicates one of these common issues:

1. Tessdata directory contamination (most common cause)
Check that your /usr/share/tessdata folder contains ONLY .traineddata files. Extra files like LICENSE, README.md, config files, or directories break OCR silently. Run ls -l /usr/share/tessdata to verify. Source

2. Missing or corrupted language files
Ensure eng.traineddata exists and has the correct file size (~23MB). If you're using Docker with a volume mount, verify the language files are properly synced. Source

3. Unofficial Docker image
If you're not using the official images (stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest or stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest-fat), OCR dependencies may be missing. Source

Quick diagnostic: Check your container logs with docker logs <container_name> | grep -i "tesseract\|ocr\|error" to see the actual error. Source

Could you share how you have Stirling-PDF deployed (Docker, local install, etc.) and any relevant error logs? That would help narrow down the issue.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
