Hi,

I am currently working on integrating OCR functionality into Alfresco 7.2, running on a Windows Server. I have successfully installed the following dependencies:

Tesseract
Ghostscript
OCRmyPDF
I have placed the required JAR files:
- simple-ocr-repo-2.3.1.jar
- simple-ocr-share-2.3.1.jar
  into the appropriate platform and share directories of the Alfresco installation.
  The following properties have been added to the alfresco-global.properties file:
  
  ocr.command=C:/Users/admin/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python313/Scripts/ocrmypdf.exe ocr.output.verbose=true
  ocr.output.file.prefix.command=
  ocr.extra.commands=--verbose 1 --force-ocr --deskew -l eng+spa+fra ocr.server.os=windows
  However, when I attempt to use the OCR feature from the document details section, I encounter the following error:
  Exception in thread "defaultAsyncAction1" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri '${ocr.url}language=--verbose 1 --force-ocr --deskew -l eng+spa+fra&source=H%3A%5CDMS72%5Ctomcat%5Ctemp%5CAlfresco%5COCRTransformWorker_source_8194440309054693312.pdf&target=H%3A%5CDMS62%5Ctomcat%5Ctemp%5CAlfresco%5COCRTransformWorker_source_8194440309054693312_ocr.pdf': incorrect path at es.keensoft.alfresco.ocr.OCRExtractAction.executeImplInternal(OCRExtractAction.java:183) ...

  I would appreciate your assistance in identifying the cause and guiding me toward a resolution. Please let me know if you require any further logs, configuration files, or additional details.
  Thank you in advance for your support.
