Top man, treaders!
Long time no see, btw - keeping well I trust? SD |
JOF, I Googled "XPS Document Writer", and the most popular downloads seem to be those for the XPS Document Writer Removal Tool !!! Nuff said, maybe? That's pretty much irrelevant as I missed as it would seem others that your documents were bitmaps (taking a closer look I noticed the scan underlined but missed it whilst skim reading) so it would not be relevant for those - but any other pdf where acrobat is disabling cut/paste/text selection it works well. Doubt it will ever replace acrobat but to get around acrobat is the only use I found so far lol. |

Ah well, the Acrobat Writer route didn't work too well, but Microsoft Imaging seems have to done it, though there seem to be a fair few "typos" and it needs a fair bit of tidying up. I think it's the quality of the original image I'm afraid. I've done the first 22 pages which seems to be the germain part of the report, but I can have a crack at the tables, etc if you like. It's in Word format. PM me your email and I'll send it to you. Hi SD, good thank you mate, hope you are too! Cheers Treadders |
Had my fair share of trials and due to requirement of converting a lot of docs which in turn were filled with unusual formatting etc. I ended up with Solid converter. Does a smashing job and is available on a trial basis with just a few limitations.

If you find something to convert the pdf to a tiff file, you CAN use simpleOCR SimpleOCR - freeware OCR software and royalty free OCR engine! to convert said tiff into a DOC file |
treadigraph,
Check your e-mail. Whatever you did, it did the job. .... there seem to be a fair few "typos"... I think it's the quality of the original image I'm afraid. Looks as if the ball is now back squarely in my camp to produce the translation! Nightrider, I'll download it and see what gives, in case I need this sort of thing again. hellsbrink, That would have meant finding an "ancient PDF - to - TIFF" converter. Is there still such a beast? |
MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
One 'Pan Pan Pan', and all of you have come up on the frequency to help me out. That's PPRuNE for me.... I'll try to pay all of you back with a half-way decent translation of the Habsheim report. I'll probably do a first draft by skipping all the information that's not directly relevant to the accident itself (such as the details of the subsequent evacuation, that can go into a second draft). Again, thanks, friends ! Christian |
