if you want to do any serious conversion from PDF to text I would advise to try PDFbox ( http://pdfbox.apache.org/). It is much better than pdftotext or Skim or the Apple built-in tools in recognising non-ascii characters and spaces. I use a script that contains something like
set classpath to "…" set theFile to "…" set theCall to "java -Xmx1G -classpath " & classpath & " org.apache.pdfbox.ExtractText -encoding UTF-8 -sort -nonSeq " if theFormat is "Html" then set theCall to theCall & "-html " set theSuffix to ".html" else set theSuffix to ".txt" end if set the text item delimiters to {"."} set newPath to (text items 1 thru -2 of theFile as text) & "-1" & theSuffix do shell script theCall & quoted form of theFile & space & quoted form of newPath
Best Thomas
Hello Thomas
May you explain to an ass like me what is supposed to be the true value of class path.
I just downloaded pdfbox-app-1.8.3.jar
I assumes that it's the quoted form of the Posix Path of the jar file but I wish to check before running it.
No problem for theFile.
