Erica: I've used Paperwork (https://openpaper.work/en/) in the past with good results. It's open source and runs on Linux and Windows. If you'd be interested in running a web application you might give some of these options a look (https://github.com/kba/awesome-ocr#ocr-gui) or maybe even look into a document management web application (https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#document-management) though the later might be overkill for your use case. Finally, if you're running a Mac somewhere and have money to spend, I cannot overstate how much I love DevonThink (https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink) which has a server version and uses ABBYY on the backend. My quick test this morning suggests it doesn't have the issue you're describing. best, ak -- ander kierig Web Application Developer University of Minnesota Libraries [lib.umn.edu](https://www.lib.umn.edu) they/them On 2022-08-05 at 18:12 (-0500) Erica FINDLEY wrote: > All, > > ABBYY has been a favorite program of mine for transforming batches of > TIFF > files into a PDF and extracting the text. > > However, I have recently run into this known issue > <https://support.abbyy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013874239-Each-page-is-duplicated-with-the-thumbnail-image-while-converting-TIFF-to-PDF-in-FineReader>even > though each TIFF file is the same resolution. > > I opened a support ticket with ABBYY and their proposed resolution is > for > me to convert to another format (jpg) then to pdf.
