To run docker container you should map directories with PDF documents to the container (-v parameter) and pass paths to input/output PDF document in the running container

Example:

• Your input PDF is: /home/pdfs_in/scanned.pdf
• Your output PDF is: /home/pdfs_out/ocred.pdf

Path /home/pdfs_in is mapped to /data_in and /home/pdfs_out is mapped to /data_out

docker run --rm -v /home/pdfs_in:/data_in -v /home/pdfs_out:/data_out -it pdfix-paddle-ocr --input /data_in/scanned.pdf --output /data_out/ocred.pdf --lang eng --name $LICENSE_NAME --key $LICENSE_KEY
