PDF conversion

[jfaks]

Hi
If my current project we need to convert pdfs to textfiles. I've found a program called convertDoc (www.softinterface.com) and wonder if anyone has any experince with this prgram. Or if you have any other ideas on how it can be preformed
Thanx in advance

Hi,

Are you trying to convert OneWorld reports from PDF to text?

If so, there are two alternatives:
1- Use the the export to CSV option when submitting the job
2- Set the following flag in the JDE.INI
[UBE]
UBEPrintDataItems = 1

This will trigger the generation of tags in the PDF, making it easier to parse and find the information You want. As far as I know, the PDF in OneWorld are not compressed and can be opened using any text editors, ideally one that will convert carriage returns (CR) to a combination of carriage return/line feed (CR/LF).

Daniel,

Yes CSV printing is the one way but in that case you will find that some column are not printing properly,

Usually I makes two different report one is for CSV format and one is for PDF (By Copy) because when you try to rearrange all column for CSV you will not get the Good PDF …
