App to convert .PDFs to Trandumper format commissioned

Admin

I have commissioned a programmer to create an application to convert ahem certain .PDF formatted files and turn them into Trandumper compatible text files as i feel this would benefit the community.

Will let you know updates as and when i get them

Well until the time comes when you devise an easy was of this task, can someone explain how it is done now? or are you just reading it in the text style?

Excellent idea!

The file protection could still be a problem, as until it's removed working an existing PDF can be an issue. You can scan them and conv to text, but that's time consuming. There are several PDF unlocking apps out there though together with front line PDF to text conversion apps. I have found that even with mainstream PDF \txt conv apps, there is still hours of work required.

I did see an ebay advert last year offering a chargeable pwd removal service, but I think that was withdrawn as 'inappropriate' by eBay.

Admin please keep us informed and good luck!
