Sorry for the misspelling! So when I try the correct option I get
$ ocrmypdf --just_print input.pdf output.pdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ocrmypdf", line 11, in <module>
load_entry_point('ocrmypdf==4.3.5', 'console_scripts', 'ocrmypdf')()

fileobj = open(stream, 'rb')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'output.pdf'
$
which I don't understand at all - output.pdf is the output file - it
shouldn't exist! Or if it does it should either be overwritten, a
warning printed, or a confirmation requested.
the -n option does the same.
However - if I use "output.pdf" as the output file AND it exists AND it
is a PDF file (but not a PDF/A) I get
$ file *.pdf
input.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7
output.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7
$ ocrmypdf --just_print input.pdf output.pdf
WARNING - Output file is okay but is not PDF/A (seems to be No XMP metadata)
(note: Both input.pdf and output.pdf are the same)
BUT - if output.pdf is a PDF/A-2B file I get
$ file *.pdf
input.pdf: PDF document, version 1.7
output.pdf: PDF document, version 1.5
$ ocrmypdf --just_print input.pdf output.pdf
INFO - Output file is a PDF/A-2B (as expected)
None of which is what I expected from the man page description
-n, --just_print
Don't actually run any commands; just print the pipeline.
Something isn't right!
BTW: the -n and --just_print options aren't listed in the SYNOPSIS
section of the man page
