== EXAMPLE USAGE
It's very simple to use rtesseract:
=== CONVERT IMAGE TO STRING
image = RTesseract.new("my_image.jpg")
- image.to_s #Getting the value
+ image.to_s # Getting the value
+=== CONVERT IMAGE TO SEARCHABLE PDF
+
+ image = RTesseract.new("my_image.jpg")
+ image.to_pdf # Getting the pdf path
+ image.to_s # Still can get the value only.
+ # ...
+ # some stuff
+ # ...
+ image.clean # to delete file once finished
+
+This will preserve the image colors, pictures and structure in the generated pdf.
+
=== CHANGE THE IMAGE
image = RTesseract.new("my_image.jpg")
image.source = "new_image.png"
image.to_s
