If you're using Acrobat, you should also OCR them with Clearscan. The OCR isn't always the best ABBYY Finereader has a better OCR engine, but the clearscan makes sure that the integrity of the original image is intact (which I'm attached to).
Sometimes it adds a bit, but it's worth it to make it searchable. Quite often the clearscan pulls the file size down even further.
How to make a .txt file on mac 10.8.5 pdf#
I've found that separating the Optimize Scanned PDF and OCR makes the files smaller. Depending on the size, this might take a bit. (3) Run Optimize Scanned PDF under Document Processing, I use Apple Adaptive Compression (JPEG2000 and JPEG2 (Lossy) with the size about a 1/4 from Small Size), Deskew On, Background Removal Low, Descreen On, Text Sharpening Low. (2) Make sure that it's in Black and White or Monochrome rather than any sort of color. (1) Make sure that the pages are shifted, and use Preview for this rather than Acrobat. Make sure that Text Recognition and Document Processing are enabled in the sidebar (View -> Tools). Still, it is more than worth it.Ī few things I've found to reduce PDFs more dramatically if you're using Acrobat: I noticed that the pdfs after cropping & splitting seem to triple sometimes quadruple in size after saving them in Acrobat with the "reduce size" option they come down again without noticeable loss of reading quality. This is so helpful for folks with pdfs of out-of-print-books and old scanned double-page articles. I tried about 10 pdfs (some of them north of 500 p) and it worked fine – and faster than I expected according your description earlier. I'm happy to say it works beautifully on both 10.8.5 and 10.9 – truly amazing. As always, if an error does pop up, please use the debugger to let me know what it is.ġ.3 has a thorough re-thinking of the splitter script, so I'm hoping for the best. Please also test the new splitter function on both OSes (the more testing the better).
How to make a .txt file on mac 10.8.5 upgrade#
To both of you, please upgrade to version 1.3 on Packal. When you say that "the first page seems to be missing", do you mean the first PDF-page or the first scanned-page?Īlso, I've fixed the PDF title bug. The goal of the splitter is to have 1 PDF-page for every 1 scanned-page. When you first open a PDF that you want to split, you have 1 PDF-page that has 2 scanned-pages on it. I can't replicate it, but let me make sure I fully understand what you mean. You will be able to export in Markdown, so you could export notes as Markdown and use Marked to get an HTML preview where the links are clickable, etc. So, Evernote displays HTML notes, so links are clickable. The page-specific URLs will work anywhere, you just need to ensure that they are "clickable".
It has been temporarily put on hold, however, as I deal with these problems. It seems that for the workflow to function the file needs to be at least 4 characters long otherwise I get this error. I'm still on 10.8.5 as well…The debugger thingie inside alfred doesn't show _any_ errors/warning.
However the first page seems to be missing always it doesn't matter whether I chose "keep" or "discard" in the "keep the first left hand page"-dialogue. My actual question: I tried the split functionality with several PDFs. Will automatic urls to the pdf pages also work without evernote? Im very much looking forward to the notes feature. The permissions of the folder PythonDaemons is "drw-rw-rw-".Great workflow. With open('PingOut.txt', 'w') as outFile: Here's the python script: import subprocess, datetime, time When I run the script from the command line everything works fine without any special permissions needed. The problem is the python script gives an error saying it doesn't have the permissions to the file. The file is supposed to execute a python script which just pings google and saves the results to a text file in: /Library/Application Support/PythonDaemons/Ping_log.txt Library/Application Support/PythonDaemons/PythonTest.py I have a plist file saved to /Library/LaunchDaemons/
