RE: quick OT question - pdf to format we can put in db

[Smith, Matthew P -CONT(CSC)]

Yes, I just tried it and get a blank .txt.  It looks like one of those pdf's where someone scanned a page, little Xerox like artifacts and the like.  Text selection tool doesn't grab anything either.  I guess OCR would be the only option.


Any good free OCR packages out there?  Heck just a demo of one that costs tons would work; just need this one time.


Thank you, Kevin.


Matthew

Yes. With the full Acrobat you can save as text.
