  • Includes a companion embed-metadata Repository add-on that adds the OCR action to Alfresco Share folder rules
  • Configurable ocrmypdf arguments (e.g. --skip-text, --force-ocr, language)
  • Deployable as a local T-Engine (Community) or async T-Engine via ActiveMQ (Enterprise)
  • Community: add localTransform.ocr.url=http://transform-ocr:8090/ to Alfresco JAVA_OPTS
  • Enterprise: register URL + queue (ocr-engine-queue) with the Transform Router
