OCRWorker.php fails to automatically ocr newly uploaded pdf file about ocr HOT 3 CLOSED

Actually the steps you are describing are absolutely what the app is about to do. It offers the possibility to ocr a file (image / pdf). It does not work directly after a new file is added to nextcloud. As this isn't the behaviour, what others would expect. One example:
You add/upload your photos (jpg - supported type for ocr) of your last vacation and there isn't much text on it. It's just a bunch of photos from sightseeing and so on. But if the app would trigger a ocr process for all newly added files, this would be the case.
So the manual start has to be performed by the user.

If you have the need for another behavior, you can for example fork the github repository and add a hook for a newly uploaded file.

I will close this issue, as the app is supposed to work like this.

When you upload a new PDF file, would it be accurate to say, owncloud creates the file and/or opens it for writing, completely writes it, and closes it? After it's closed for the first time, is it the hook for postCreate or postWrite that gets triggered ?

Actually I don't know this. Maybe you can ask in the nextcloud/server repo. The guys over there should know this.
