Also, if the OCR program to be used has PDF image recognition capability
(which most contemporary OCR programs do), she could open the .pdf file in
the OCR program and it will do the job of recognising it. Given the large
file size, though, it will take a few hours to complete this.

As sure as eggs are eggs, the text is actually scanned, and
so appears as an image or picture.
You may simply be forced to print the document, scan it, and
OCR from there,

Subject: [VICUG-L] PDF-to-Text
Listers,
I know this topic has been dealt with repeatedly. Using
Acrobat
reader version 8, I have a .pdf file which neither appears
to open
though I get the converting document message; and though I
have the
"convert to text option" after minutes and minutes the .txt
file
shows up with 0 bytes. the PDF is a long file, over 3 meg.
Any ideas
for getting it translated?
Answer offlist to spare everyone this duplication.
Thanks,
Judy Wilkinson
