Tom, On the Mac I use Acrobat from Adobe, you can copy text from a PDF with that software.
I’m winding down for the day when your question came in, so I loaded a PDF from an IBM article on the iPad about deep learning. Opening the PDF in iBooks allows you to drag around the text you want & copy as you see..... “Until now, deep learning has largely run on single server because of the complexity of moving huge amounts of data between different computers. The problem is in keeping data synchronized between lots of different servers and processors In it announcement early Tuesday, IBM (ibm, -1.16%) says it has come up with software that can divvy those tasks among 64 servers running up to 256 processors total, and still reap huge benefits in speed. The company is making that technology available to customers using IBM Power System servers and to other techies who want to test it.” John Sent from my iPad > On Feb 1, 2018, at 11:49 PM, "preston....@twc.com" <preston....@twc.com> > wrote: > > i.e.: copied text from the PDF, then pasted text into the new intended file. > > -russ > > >> On Feb 1, 2018, at 11:34 PM, preston....@twc.com wrote: >> >> As long as it’s actually text (not a placed graphic) within the PDF doc, I >> have opened a PDF in Preview and copy/paste the text info. >> >> -russ preston >> >> >> >>> On Feb 1, 2018, at 11:09 PM, tom <tguenth...@twc.com> wrote: >>> >>> Is there a free application that has the ability to copy text in a PDF file? >>> I need to do this for a research I’m working on. >>> Thanks >>> >>> >>> >>> Tom Guenthner >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> MacGroup mailing list >>> Posting address: MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu >>> Archive: >>> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mail-2Darchive.com_macgroup-40erdos.math.louisville.edu_&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=SmRroZrbDyPYsCU4XK_Hj271_rCISIc1iVfrMFuwF78&s=i25_46On0bbBw8GXxMyZYCpRLH_7EHebQM2jgTYQabM&e=> >>> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> MacGroup mailing list >> Posting address: MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu >> Archive: >> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mail-2Darchive.com_macgroup-40erdos.math.louisville.edu_&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=jaeZoaT7oIYSXo_ymNIK66JV11GyhJ87hjuj5mprzso&s=qqeAJJtBpePZv1ebx26ysJDtSlIr4sz55OMQi1PfPYk&e=> >> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/> > > > _______________________________________________ > MacGroup mailing list > Posting address: MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu > Archive: > <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mail-2Darchive.com_macgroup-40erdos.math.louisville.edu_&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=ipnMIEX1BJvhCnnoWxFfXJNK-hkLUIrhTlG_ATgnh94&s=BZOSwzDnB6D3YTgZikoP4GCSB8hhnSvy7JzVzbmdp1c&e=> > Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/> _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/macgroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
