For f20, is there an OCR program for extracting the text out of a pdf scan?
do you have the pdf file or are you talking about files that were run thru a scanner?
I have an old document of 'Assembly Instructions'. Some can be found at: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~bcd/humor/instruction.set.html, but I have a few more. And a lot less.
that is a dead link.
But I want the ones that were passed around in my assembly writing days (early 80s).
in past, i have had need to convert pdf files to text files. the 2 linux programs that i used where "pdf2txt" and "pdftotext". i do not know if binaries are available for f20, if not, there are plenty of sites with source. https://ixquick.com/do/search?q=%22pdf2text%22+%2Blinux&lui=english gives about 19,310 results of information. 1st page has what is needed. do not know about, other than "calibre" at; http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux also, as i understand, you can use google docs to convert a pdf file to a text file. last, but not least, adobe reader can export text from a pdf file. hth. much luck. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g . -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
