RE: PDF to splf

If you have a linux box handy ( or 30 minutes to spin up a live cd real quick) pdftotext may get it to text also.

GhostScript running in PASE might have a driver to "print" to text - this ***might*** keep the alignment of characters - I don't know - just copying text out of a PDF ends up really different from the original.

Thanks Jon.

I realize it’s quite a bass-ackwards request.

Only way I know is to create a text file from the pdf then copy that to spool.

Have a customer that has generated a splf for us to look at. They sent it to us as a pdf.

We have a joblog analyzer tool that works only with splf‘ son the current system.

Is there a fairly simple way to move/convert that pdf to a new splf on our system, so that we may run the tool over it?
