guys,
well, i'm ashamed to admit that i've put at least a dozen hours in
trying, then re-re-retrying to OCR a imaged pdf file with as many
open source ocr packages as i can find. before i quit for supper
tonight, i finally threw in the towel. realized than i would have
been THROUGH with all 181 pages of the text on Aristotle if i had
just read the bloody thing. but anyway, i'm done. there simply is
no freeware that runs on a 'nix computer//real computer.
so what is the best commercial/shareware that can read a 10pt-font
file? (( also, when i have time to get back into actually hacking,
this [[turning imaged pdf into OCR'able ascii or 8859-1]] is giong to
be a first target. any idea which team i should go with. gOCR looks
best so far to me.
gary
