Cannot convert from PAGE to ALTO

[stweil]

I created PAGE XML with ocrd-tesserocr-recognize -I DEFAULT -O PAGE_GERMAN_PRINT -P segmentation_level region -P textequiv_level word -P find_tables true -P model german_print. Then I wanted to transform the PAGE XML files to ALTO with ocrd-fileformat-transform. It fails with an error: "The PAGE-XML to transform contains neither Border nor PrintSpace"

Try with

-P script-args '--no-check-border'

(cf https://github.com/kba/page-to-alto/blob/master/ocrd_page_to_alto/convert.py#L191-L211)

We should switch the default, you're not the first to complain about that behavior :(

Thanks a lot! It works with this additional parameter. And yes, it should be the default or at least mentioned in the OCR-D workflow documentation. Therefore I suggest to keep this issue open until this is done.
