For f20, is there an OCR program for extracting the text out of a pdf

do you have the pdf file or are you talking about files that were
run thru a scanner?
I scaned my old printed copy to pdf.
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.
Not for me. Or Poma (see his post).
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 will do some searches.
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.
Not for this pdf. I tried that. It exports a zero length file.
