HOw Do i publish or get the PDF generated?

Answer 1

I have found the answer. Just to close the thread, posting the same.

 f = open("demofile.pdf", "w+b")
 f.write(bytearray(pdf))
 f.close()

demofile.pdf happens to be resultant pdf which gets published in the workspace.

Answer 2

From Pytesseract-PYPI:

Get a searchable PDF

pdf = pytesseract.image_to_pdf_or_hocr('test.png', extension='pdf')
with open('test.pdf', 'w+b') as f:
    f.write(pdf) # pdf type is bytes by default
