so I typed from tesseract install dir:

tesseract.exe D:\DOC\ARABIC\Kamus_Arab-Indonesia.pdf  z:\t\Kamus.pdf  -l ara+ind --psm 1

Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine v4.0.0-alpha.20180109 with Leptonica
Error in pixReadStream: Pdf reading is not supported
Error in pixRead: pix not read
Error during processing.

Tesseract does not support reading PDF files.

You can try other software, for example OCRmyPDF.

Apparently OCRmyPDF uses Tesseract under the hood, so I think that's important to note.
