| 775104 | 2009-05-19 07:07:00 | Does anyone know of a program which can select only the text from a PDF document that consists of a scanned page from a book? I don't want to chew-through laser printer toner by reprinting every shadow and blocks of black from the scanned image. See pic to see what I'm taliking about Attached file: Untitled1242713243.jpg (www.imagef1.net.nz) (70 KB) |

| 775105 | 2009-05-19 07:09:00 | Just scan it with some graphics program, then erase the black borders. Only thing is, it'll be a jpeg not txt | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 775106 | 2009-05-19 07:11:00 | I don't have access to the original book. I only have the PDF. | supersi (8401) | ||
| 775107 | 2009-05-19 07:17:00 | Try the Text Viewer tool in Foxit. I think that does what you want. | rumpty (2863) | ||
| 775108 | 2009-05-19 07:19:00 | Try this: www.a-pdf.com Or, you can use the select tool in Foxit or Adobe reader, copy and paste in word Blam |

| 775109 | 2009-05-19 09:00:00 | You could try it online at OCR terminal (ocrterminal.com/) - but requires you to sign up. Might be useful if you have several scanned PDF text to extract. Summary of how to use OCR is here at Digital Inspiration (www.labnol.org). More options with links/info for PDF to Text/Word, etc here... (search.labnol.org) | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
