How can I improve text recognition accuracy with jTessBoxEditor?

Question

I have been trying to extract data from scanned pdf documents. I have converted the pdf file into jpeg file (I have attached the image link below), cropped the words and numbers with different fonts, merged into a tiff file and trained the fonts using jTessBoxEditor to generate a new language and I used that language in Tesseract-OCR to extract the data from the file. But I couldn't extract the exact data. The text recognition accuracy of tesseract-ocr is very poor.

Can someone suggest a method to improve the accuracy?

I couldn't extract the exact data

Did you use image_to_string method?

text = pytesseract.image_to_string(image)
