Title: about Converting .pdf to plain text
Post by: euklides on April 30, 2021, 04:36:47 am

Here in France, we are receiving more and more computerized till receipts in pdf/txt format. No paper: ecology and saving trees...

I find the little program from Richard to convert pdf to plain text very useful to convert these little tickets into a txt format and archive them easily.

By the way: for serial processing with multiple pdf, you can close the current pdf at screen with the command "_SCREENPRINT CHR$(23) " and go so to the next pdf

That's a nice hack, with the ctrl C and all.  Surely there are dozens of 'pdf2txt' commandline apps you can SHELL to, might be more robust.
