Error when trying to OCR JPEG or PNG about ocrmypdf

[jbarlow83]

Only PDF input is supported for now.

img2pdf does a good job at converting most JPEGs and PNGs to PDF.
And yes, that's a really crappy error message, which I should fix.

If I try the same thing on a PDF file it works fine Thanks!

Next release fixes the error message.

By the way, there should be no need to sudo ocrmypdf. You don't have to trust me with root access to your system.
