Hello, last year I did some extensive testing with PDF-to-text conversion:
Java:
pdfbox Vers. 7.3 (free) pdfbox Vers. 8.0 (free)
Mac OS X:
Automator (free) Skim (free)
Linux/Unix:
pdftotext (free)
Windows:
a-PDF (commercial) AdvancedPDF (commercial) FreePDF2Word (commercial)
multiplePDF (commercial) PDF converter (commercial) somePDF (free)
veryPDF (commercial)
and found PDFbox by far the most powerful tool, in particular for the
mathematical texts I studied (more because of the variety of characters than
the actual formulas).
I would be very interested in a program that produces a decent HTML output out
of PDF (Google does quite good a job), and thus would like to see any results
that come out of this.
Thanks in advance
Thomas
