Hi,
I would like to be able to grab a line of text from a pdf file (in order to
change the name of a file to something reflecting its content).
While X imaging is closely linked to pdf, the TextEdit app can't open pdfs,
and the preview app has no dictionary. Anyone know of a scriptable app that
allow access to pdf text (i.e., "get word 3 of line 1 of <my pdf> ")?
