James;

It could be that your PDF files have no text to the. they are in effect pictures of printed pages stored in PDF format. If this is the case there is no way to convert them to text. If you can send me one and I'll take a look at it.

The only way to convert .tif to text is with some sort of OCR program as tif file are just raster images.

Hi folks,

I am downloading some journal articles for my History Degree, and they are either PDF or TIF. They are not accessible with VO and Preview. I have downloaded a shell program called PDFTXT but I've never used a shell program before.

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to convert PDF to txt or .tif to .txt?

Thanks

James
