OMG it was tesseract all the time. Days of trying to get this work and the problem was the OCRFeeder synaptics package installs the tesseract ocr program as a dependency but no language packs except for English. I was trying to OCR a German file. And tesseract had no output to indicate a missing language file. Crazy.
Just on a hunch I went to synaptics and searched on tesseract there are dozens of language files, but only English was installed. I installed the German file and now it works fine.
There is a tesseract-ocr-all package but OCRFeeder doesn't install that, it just installs tesseract-ocr.
Wow, couple days wasted, but oh well at least it works now.
