New question #231956 on qpdfview: https://answers.launchpad.net/qpdfview/+question/231956
The problem to solve is: the PDF, that I have, can be displayed, but can't be searched - it's a lexicon, also I need to find searched text in it and currently I can't - the only option, that is working, is scrolling it, and this method is slow (in this case the text is formatted (after the one column introduction, some tables etc) in two columns). My solution would be to save it as plain text and maybe reformat it into one column, if needed (but I suppose, that newly created PDF would be searchable (perhaps - I don't know, what's wrong with the existing PDF, or whether the viewers simply cannot do it, because it is naturally complex for them, when the readers (including Acrobat Reader) can't do that (if I would know how to do it, how to load/import the PDF correctly, when the apps (other than viewers), that could load the PDF, like LibreOffice, doesn't display the characters correctly - they don't load it precisely). The existence of the tool for text selection in qpdfview would be welcomw. In case of conversion from PDF to HTML, I discovered an interesting app, that would be a solution of tha issue, called pdf2htmlEX (http://coolwanglu.github.io/pdf2htmlEX/), but am not able to force it to work (there is some kind of problem on my system, when trying to open any PDF with it via the recomended command) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of qpdfview, which is an answer contact for qpdfview. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~qpdfview Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~qpdfview More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
