My first run of the script was successful, and I now have a  
basename-matches PDF.  I renamed the match file to word-word-#ofhits.pdf



I run the script a second time, on that basename-matches PDF  
(word-word-#ofhits.pdf), to achieve the and functionality.  Unfortunatley,  
on this second run, I don't don't seem to get a new match file at the end.


I tred twice -- for the first And run, I got thousands of hits, and no  
match file.  The second time, I searched for something more rare, got 180  
hits, but no match file in the end.

Is it possible to search for pages that contain words -- at least one word  
from each of two groups?  For example:


First group of ORs:  car, truck, bus, bicycle, or motorcycle

and

Second group of ORs:  blue, red, green, purple, or beige

So a good hit could have the word green and truck on the same page (but  
not necessarily near eachother on the same page).


A good hit may look like He had a green truck.  A good hit could also look  
like He didn't drive the truck near the green trees.  So long as 1+ word  
from each group is on the same page.


Could I implement such a feature if I learn Shell script?

I just thought of something.  I could use pdf-page-grep to do a first pass

Then I could split the matches file into single-page PDFs.

And then use a new set of ORs on those single-page PDFs.

In case someone with a similar situation finds this page -- here's how to run  
a script:


1.  Open the terminal, and type:

cd [directory where your script is]

Example:

cd /home/username/Desktop/research/

Put the PDF files in the same directory

2.  Then type the following, to give yourself permission to run the script  
(is that what it does?)


chmod +x [script name]

3. Run the script

./[script name]

4. For Magic Bananna's script -- the terminal will tell you to use the script  
this way:


./[script name] [pdf-name].pdf [pdf-name].pdf

OR you can do all the PDFs in that folder in one go with an asterix, like  
this:


./[script name] *.pdf

Once I split the files into single pages, I'll need the Shell command 'for

About this step: 'if pdftotex $file - | grep -i regexps'  -- does this copy  
all the PDF text to one text file?  And then search (grep) the text file?

pages are joined up into one document?

check the documentation to see what Trisquel offers.  If our accessibility  
documentation looks thin, they may go somewhere else.


I'll try and learn about accessibility features so that maybe I can  
contribute something too.  I made this topic so that maybe people with more  
experience can start us off.

Re: [Trisquel-users] common problem with scanners

pdfjam worked!  Well, I'm not surprised that it works.  I am a little  
surprised that I got it to work.


I did a test run on a bunch of pdf files following the directions in Example  
6.  I ran into a hurdle; the newly letter-sized pages all output as a single  
pdf.


Then I remembered that you said to do it as a batch.  Example 1 shows how to  
do batches.  I added --batch right after the pdfjam instruction like  
this:


pdfjam --batch /home/muhammed/Desktop/testfolder/*.pdf --trim '0cm 7.62cm 0cm  
0cm' --clip true --outfile /home/muhammed/Desktop/output/

My scanner isn't listening to Simple Scan's preference settings. It's the  
same for the few other scanners that I have tried.


I'll try pdfjam.  I found some instructions for pdfjam's trim command  
(Example 6 on the page below).

ImageMagick can trim non-pdf images only right?  Like png, jpg, etc?

Thanks MB

Hi guys,

Could you please post examples of free formats?  A name and a link to a  
website should be enough.  The goal is to populate these documentation pages  
with info about free formats:


Spreadsheet
Accounting

Timekeeping
Point of sale
Project management
Customer relationship management
statistics

Re: [Trisquel-users] is xmpp an open standard, or a free standard?

Thanks for the link Jason

So -- it's better to call xmpp a free specification?

Because different people will infer different meanings from standard?

Or does xmpp qualify for both titles?

[Trisquel-users] is Trisquel's dictionary saass?

2014-03-09 Thread adel . afzal
It doesn't seem to work offline; I think that it checks a server for  
definitons.  Or I haven't figured out how to use it properly/as software  
(strong possibility).


Re: [Trisquel-users] is Trisquel's dictionary saass?

2014-03-09 Thread adel . afzal
looking up words in their database isn't something you would be able to do  
in your computer.


The premise in this statement is that we want to do the task with a server.   
That premise affects the answer (yes, we can only look up a word on a  
server, if we use a server).


I don't think that we need a server to look up words in a dictionary [1].  If  
remote dictionaries have a legitimate use, maybe the dictionary could offer  
options: to download dictionaries, or to use a server.


If Trisquel won't come with definition files, the server option may be worth  
keeping for people who have low-bandwidth Internet connections.


[1] Here's a dictionary application that doesn't depend on a server each  
search:

[Trisquel-users] Abiword and abicollab.net

2014-02-28 Thread adel . afzal

I just want to ask whether I understand how Abicollab works:

Users run the free Abiword software on their own computers.  And rely on  
abicollab.net to host the file.


Is Abicollab therefore free, and not sass?  Is there any downside to relying  
on Abicollab to host the file?
