## ❗ Pre-installation
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This program assumes OCRmyPDF is installed and present in the system PATH.
> You can achieve this by following the official "Native Windows" [instructions](https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#installing-on-windows).
> I encountered multiple hindrances, however. Here are the exact steps I followed:
📜 Instructions
1. Start an Administrator Command Prompt / PowerShell window.
2. [Install](https://chocolatey.org/install) or [update](https://community.chocolatey.org/courses/installation/upgrading) the Chocolatey package manager if you haven't done so already.
3. Run the following commands and follow the on-screen instructions, making sure to select "Yes to all" when prompted:
4. Install (`choco install python3`) or update (`choco upgrade python3`) Python 3.
5. Restart your Command Prompt / PowerShell window and verify Python was added to your PATH with `python -V`. If not, solve the issue (there are multiple potential causes which will not be detailed here).
5. Upgrade PIP: `python -m pip install --upgrade pip`.
6. Install GhostScript: `choco install ghostscript`.
7. Install Tesseract: `choco install --pre tesseract`.
8. Install PNGQuant (optional but recommended): `choco install pngquant`.
9. Install jbig2 (optional but recommended). First, download it from [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/jbig2enc/files/latest/download).
10. Extract the contents of the folder inside the .zip archive to `C:\Program Files\jbig2enc`.
11. Add the folder to your PATH environment variables: `setx /M PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\jbig2enc"`
12. Install OCRmyPDF: `python -m pip install ocrmypdf`
13. If you recieve PATH warnings, add the **displayed** Python Scripts folder to your PATH environment variables, **e.g:** `setx /M PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python312\Scripts"`
## 🔐 Digital Signing of Release Binaries
All `*.exe` binary files of this project compiled by me are digitally self-signed. The attached certificate should carry this serial number:
`18f6cc78c0fa778b4545c6d9d135cb52`
If the serial number on your copy does not match this, or the digital certificate is missing the file has potentially been tampered with and should be deleted immediately.
You can check this by right clicking on the `OCRmyPDF-WinGUI` .exe / Application file > Properties > Digital Signatures > Select the one named "sjain882" > Details > View Certificate > Details > Serial Number.
