Also, if the OCR program to be used has PDF image recognition capability (which most contemporary OCR programs do), she could open the .pdf file in the OCR program and it will do the job of recognising it. Given the large file size, though, it will take a few hours to complete this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] PDF-to-Text As sure as eggs are eggs, the text is actually scanned, and so appears as an image or picture. You may simply be forced to print the document, scan it, and OCR from there, George. -----Original Message----- >From: Visually Impaired Computer Users' Group List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Judy Wilkinson Sent: 21 September 2007 16:29 To: [email protected] Subject: [VICUG-L] PDF-to-Text Listers, I know this topic has been dealt with repeatedly. Using Acrobat reader version 8, I have a .pdf file which neither appears to open though I get the converting document message; and though I have the "convert to text option" after minutes and minutes the .txt file shows up with 0 bytes. the PDF is a long file, over 3 meg. Any ideas for getting it translated? Answer offlist to spare everyone this duplication. Thanks, Judy Wilkinson VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
