back to a word processor, it looked just like it did before. Kate had not cleaned up the mess, it just ignored some of it! Probably it simply could not display it.
Finally, I don't know how the pdf file was created, "pdfinfo file.pdf" tells you that. And acrobat "properties" menu entry. And some other tools, I suppose. I seem to recall something that did "pdf-to-pdf", that is clean up the PDF.
At the very least I'd look at pdftotext and pdfimages to extract text and images. I've used them successfully in the past.
Unfortunately the former can be very literal at times and produces output interspersed with with footers :-)
I tried Foxit--the version for 32-bit, run on pclos. Use the selection tool It says as soom=n as you select, the selection is in memory. So I pasted into TextMaker. It came up with all the words in the right places, separated by $ signs. Do a search and replace $ with space, and the document is just about perfect! Thank you, folks! Now I have a tool that works. I tried pasting into Libre, and that worked the same way! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
