This messaging system seems to publish replies with "curly" or "typographers" quotes. This is not good if one is merely trying to copy paste from the web page into the terminal. Having a forum that allows for source code that is not modified would be helpful here.

The quotes need to be "straight" double quotes around the variables.

The quotes are needed because many file names contain spaces and other special characters that can create all sorts of errors.

I still use ocrmypdf in 2024 when I need a quicker full-resource OCR task. It is generally faster than Adobe Acrobat "Pro". Considering the cost and the flagship status of the application where many call it the "best in its class," I am surprised that 20+ years after multi-core Intel Macs were introduced, we still pay for a single-threaded application that uses only 1 of 6 cores on this MacBook Pro from late 2020.

My first multi-core Mac was an iMac Core 2 Duo which I see was introduced in 2006 — some 18 years ago. I'm sure other users had multi-core Macs before that.

Adobe continues to collect subscription fees and yet they don't make an improved product. Workflow for many common tasks is just bad and it is slower than it should be.
