How to extract text in the columns of a .pdf file

I have a .pdf document that is arranged in columns.  I tried export in crude as a .doc file and copy/paste-ing text highlighted text.  In each case, the text comes out tangled.  In other words, it reads a line across all three columns.  If the text among the three columns tangle together and very tedious to separate and pick up in the right order.

I have a lot of text extracted of .pdfs but have not run into this problem before.  Is it possible to fix it?

    I just tested the approach below, which works as expected.

    CONCAT ('ABC', cast ("Time". "" Tax Quarter "as char))"

    CONCAT ('ABC', 'Time'. ("' Fiscal quarter")

    Control the parameters of syntax in your formula.

    Mark it as relatively useful/correct, if it is.

    Hello. Can someone tell me please how to tell what the resolution has PDF? Thanks in advance.

    PDF files are not images, but vector documents. They have not a

  • How to add link to the downloadable word or pdf file

    I want to add a link to a word or pdf document, so that the user can download the file on their computer,

    fill out some information and then send the form to a registry office.  I don't want to create a form

    in DW because I don't have a database to store the registration information.  Registration is for

    an event of the small group Church, (low volume) so I want to do something simple and fast.

    Thank you!

    Simply create the pdf file and add a link to it, as you would for any web page - include a link to download the software Acrobat reader as well.  I would avoid using a Word file, in which case the person may not have Word installed on their machine.

  • How to extract text from a GIF Image?

I have several of the same format image files. How to extract text from an image using Photoshop CS2. In Photoshop CS2 image text layer is locked. During extraction using OCR it gives words and symbols, should be a lot of words spruced up. Kindly help to extract text using Photoshop CS2. Thank you.

    This has nothing to do with PS. Others are simply limits to all OCR process and you will have to live with it, especially since your image is extremely low resolution and the font used is not particularly suitable for OCR, either - too many thin areas will be ignored or interpreted as gray. Whatever it is, it took me 2 minutes to write this response at this very moment a bad typist like me might have re typed your text from scratch, just access it so...

  • How to extract information from the ovf file from a file of eggs by programming?

    How to extract information from the ovf file from a file of eggs by programming?

    Hello

    Please provide details:

    -On what OS you are programming (Linux, Windows,...)?

    -What programming or scripting language do you use?

    An EGG file is just a tarball of hard, .ovf and .mf files. The .ovf file is always the first. For example, on a Unix like operating system, this should be easy.

    For Windows, there are several options available to manage programmatically the tarballs. See for example http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/470999/tarlib-Windows-TAR-Library.

    And the ovf itself file is in XML format. For handling XML files are libraries available for literally every OS and programming language.

    Hello

    http://gumbo.flashhub.NET/keyboard/

    It is a small example of a 'virtual' keyboard that will enter the text into a textinput/textarea component selected. Capslock and shift key States really aren't quite right (really need control shift/cap lock combo), but there is a simple tab and backspace (delete) and enter the function key.

    hope this is useful

  • How to extract the police from a .pdf file?

    I read a novel in the form of ebook .pdf file. The police is beautiful and I've not seen before. In the pdf file, the police are the same (vary in size, boldness, etc., but the police are the same).

    Can someone tell me if there is a way to extract the name of the font used in the file?

    I went to properties-> fonts and this is the information I found:

    What's the Font.JPG

    Also if you are able to identify the police by simple observation (behind the Properties window, that the word 'way' is written in the font I want) please let me know.

    Kind regards

    -sgsawant

    It looks like a font that comes is not recognized. There is not much you can do about it. I guess you are trying to say that you just want to know what it is if you can go buy it?

    If so, one thing you could do is to take a screenshot of part of the text then run via http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/. It does a decent job of identification of fonts.
