1. PDF Files
Howdy y'all!
A question from Kat:
Travis,
could you ask the good folks on the Eu listserv how to decode to text a PDF
file? I was asked if i could decode (for rapid mining) a few thousand of
them.
thanks,
Kat

Seems like quite an ambitious task. There is a PDF reference available (in
PDF format ofcourse :) at www.wotsit.org. Beware though, cos it's a 500+
pages document.

Try going to <http://www.freshmeat.net> and searching for PDF. When I did
just now, 74 results came back. There are a number of PDF manipulation
utilities there, many of which are open source. They're almost certainly
written in C/C++, but might provide a roadmap or some good examples to help
you get started with PDF files...
