Hi,<br>yes I tried before pdftotext but the results of Okular are much better for my needs (parsing of pdf documents).<br>I need to parse "csv" or "fixed length" like documents that are unfortunately in pdf format, if anyone has any suggestion on how to parse them without translating them to text...<br><br><br><div>> From: aacid@kde.org<br>> To: okular-devel@kde.org<br>> Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:45:34 +0100<br>> Subject: Re: [Okular-devel] Export from pdf to txt, invoking from the command line<br>> <br>> A Dijous, 10 de novembre de 2011, filippo di natale vàreu escriure:<br>> > Hi,<br>> > I like very much how Okular exports pdf to txt keeping the correct spacing<br>> > (doing the same with acrobat on windows gave no such clean results).
