PDF, gif, jpg, bmp….to text program
One nice thing about summer is that I get to catch up on all those sites I bookmarked during the school year. Here is an easy to use utility to extract text from PDFs and most picture formats. This is particularly handy for getting rid of all those newspaper and magazine clippings you have stashed away. If you are using Canon’s Scanner Toolbox, you can link pdf scans to open directly in the OCR* program too,
The program name tells what it does: PDF OCR X
