Running OCR on Combined document saves no text to .txt file

I am scanning in a large 500 page document, running OCR on it and saving the data to a text file for my program to process.
My network printer/copier/scanner can only read in about 70 pages at a time, so I scanned in as several PDF documents, which I saved to disk.
I Recognize Text in Multiple Files using OCR... on all of the PDF documents, Saving-As Text (Accessable) and it all works fine. I can then combine the text files in a text processor.
Then, I saw the Combine button, so I combined all of the PDF documents into a separate PDF file and ran OCR on it, but the resulting .txt file is blank! If I run the OCR manually, I can highlight the extract text, but when I try to save as Text (Accessable), it still fails to save any data to the .txt file.
Is this a known problem?
I am running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Version 9.4.5.
Thanks.

gilgad2000,
It depends on your VI. If you are using the "Path Control" tool, you can open its "Browse Options" and write .txt at the Pattern box.
If you are not using it, you can also concatenate a ".txt" string at the end of the file path (use "Strip Path", "Concatenate Strings" and "Build Path" functions) just before using it on the saving function.

Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

Fetch unread RSS items from mail, set them to read, save the text to a file

This is what I want to do, and needless to say I am having a little trouble.
I wish to take the unread mail RSS items, set them to read, and then save the TEXT of the articles (not the title, time, or author) to a TextEdit file in my Documents folder.
So far I have Get Feeds From Mail > Filter Articles > Get Text from Articles > New Text File
This is all fine and dandy, but how do I just get the TEXT and not all of the crap that comes with it?
Thanks!

NOw I had manage to clear out the error, but now the problem is when I click on the 'save' button, this function clear out the entire text file for me !!!
The code are as below:
       if(e.getSource()== vButtons[0])
          try{
           String str;
           String Ky = tArea.getText();
           BufferedWriter buffWrite=null;
           BufferedWriter in1 = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Keyword.txt"));
                    buffWrite.write(Ky);
                buffWrite.flush();
                    buffWrite.close();
                in1.close();
          catch (IOException ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
        if(e.getSource()== vButtons[1])
              new panel();
              dispose();
         if(e.getSource()== vButtons[2])
            System.exit(0);
    }     Please tell me how to save the TextArea to the text file, THANKS !!!

Create hyperlink to text in .txt file

I purchased a template for my company website. I am editing the text (headers, body, etc) in the .txt file (template creator's directions to do this). I now need to make some of that text in the .txt file a hyperlink (one to a pdf document on my server and several to external websites). When I highlight the text in the .txt file, I am not given the option to create a hyperlink. Obviously, when I try to create a hyperlink in the code, I can. The problem is that the desired text is only contained in the .txt file.
What can I do? Am I prevented from using text because all of the text is in the .txt file?
Thank you in advance!!!!!

1) Open yourfilename.txt.
2) SaveAs yourfilename.html
3) This will give you an HTML document you can work with in Design View (albeit an un-styled one).
Add your links to the page. Ctrl+S to save.
4) SaveAs yourfilename.txt.

Listen to port 25 and save incoming email as txt files

Hi
I am new to JavaMail. I would apreciate some advice.
I would like to use JavaMail to listen on a port such as 25 like a standard SMTP mail server, JavaMail would recieve the mails and convert them to txt file and save them on the Operating System. I want to know if this is possible?
Also are there any code samples available anywhere for receiving mail?
Thanks
Darrell

Hi,
This is rather Networking question then JavaMail API. The poin is that JavaMail API is designed for consumers, i.e. this is high-level level API (vendor indepemdent) which allows you to send/receive messages to/from mail servers using various protocols. It is not designed for implementing mail servers themselves.
So you should just implement a simple smtp server. There are lot of open source implementation that can be used as an example.
One of them is Java Mail Server on Sourceforge.net
http://jmailsrv.sourceforge.net/
(have a look at two classes, they have all what you need to implement
http://jmailsrv.cvs.sourceforge.net/jmailsrv/jmailserver/src/at/jps/mailserver/SmtpServer.java?view=markup
and
http://jmailsrv.cvs.sourceforge.net/jmailsrv/jmailserver/src/at/jps/mailserver/SmtpConnection.java?revision=1.3&view=markup
Good luck,

Documents save but text disappears

I have used appleworks just fine for 8 years now, but in the last couple of months i have noticed my documents will save but the text from the last save will be deleted. for example: i save a document on monday, edit tuesday, and on wednesday the editing i did on tuesday will be gone. it never deletes a file, just the text inside. and if i saved in 2 different documents, only the last used document will have missing text. even if i save multiple times while the doc is open, it is still gone. what can i do to fix this???

Hi northcanon,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Whenever AppleWorks stops working correctly, the first step is to delete its preferences files.
Quit AppleWorks, then in the Finder go to:
yourname > Library > Preferences.
In the Preferences folder:
-locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
-locate and open the folder AppleWorks
--delete the two cache files and the AppleWorks Preferences files in this folder.
--IF you have problems related to the Button Bar, delete the AppleWorks Button Bars file in this folder.
AppleWorks will create new, clean copies of these files as they are needed.
On another forum, a hint was posted that I think pertains to this problem.
The hint was to press command-S, wait for the action to finish (ie. the highlighted File menu returns to its normal black letters on white), then press command-S a second time. The File menu heading will highlight briefly.
Regards,
Barry

Run report in Backround and Save it automatic as Excel File

I've created a report program that uses the alv grid. I run it in background, then i want to save it automatic as an excel file.
can y help me
Thanks

Hi,
When you run a report in background, irespective of the type of report, let it be Normal or ALV report, we have to use JOB FM's, such as JOB_OPEN, JOB_CLOSE. When you run a report in background, the data to be displayed is stored in the spool. So firt, you need to hold the spool data into an internal table, and then pass that internal table to GUI_DOWNLOAD, by hardcoding a path in the local system to download.
Use this FM to hold the spool output in a internal table , RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB.
Hope this is helpful to you. If you need further information, revert back.
Reward all the helpful answers.

I need to combine a few thousand multi line txt files into individual lines in a master file.

I need to combine lots of text files into one file-but each file is 6 or 7 lines long, and I need to remove the line breaks so each file is an individual line in the output. I feel like I should be able to do this with CAT, but can't figure out how. Perhaps there's aother tool that would allow me to stip the line breaks before I cat them all together? (and perhaps this is a question that should be posted somewhere else?)

You can remove the line breaks with tr -d '\n', :
tr -d '\n' < file > newfile
If all the files are in the same directory, just use a loop:
for i in ~/Desktop/*.txt ; do tr -d '\n' < $i >> ~/Desktop/Untitled3.tmp; echo >> ~/Desktop/Untitled3.tmp; done
If in multiple directories, you can use find, but the files need similar names (i.e., Untitledxxx.xxx).
BTW, best place for this question would be the "Mac OS X Technologies" forum with a tag of UNIX

Save as Text error

When I try to save a PDF as TXT, the first line on each page is duplicated:
Page 1->2
"Gladly," interposed the gray-haired man. "Your headquarters is on the way to my hotel. The night is
<ff>
mild. We can talk as we stroll along."
mild. We can talk as we stroll along."
Page 3->4
"Yes," admitted Rochelle, as he led the visitor through to the front room on the left, "but a worthy one.
Our publications will go everywhere. Here, senator, is our meeting room."
<ff>
They were standing in the front room. The senator stared at the walls. Beautifully decorated in many
colors, they formed maps in mural style. The entire world was depicted. Darvin Rochelle smiled as he
observed the keen interest which the visitor displayed.

Any idea what's happening? What additional information would be helpful?

So...no ideas on how to actually fix the problem, just complain about someone saying they have a problem with microsoft instead of windows? I'm having a similar problem, save as text and the file has the first paragraph of the page not only duplicated, but has removed text that originally took the place of the duplicated text. For example:
     Tom and Jane had a dog who constantly hunched their legs and ruined their couch.
     They could never decide what to do with the dog.
     Finally, they got rid of the thing.
would be saved as:
     Tom and Jane had a dog who constantly hunched their legs and ruined their couch.
     Tom and Jane had a dog who constantly hunched their legs and ruined their couch.
     Finally, they got rid of the thing.
Which becomes very hard to fix in a 200 page file. The forum says that there's a possible solution, but it seems as if you can't actually click on the solution to go and see what it is, and with no point of reference, you could be searching for a long time. By the by, I'm using Reader 9.3
Also: this doesn't happen with every PDF, but I can find no pattern between which ones do and do not cause the problem to occur (images in the file, hyperlinks, etc don't seem to make a difference).

Find text from a file and set it as a variable in applescript?

I am trying to build a script that sends me updates and notifications from cex.io. Please keep on reading below, so I may guide you until the point I have trouble with.
The first simple script in this operation goes to cex.io's trading page for BTC/GHS. It records ands saves the text to a file every 4 seconds. It works great. It doesn't need to have safari refresh because the site pushes info to the browser live.
repeat
          set the webpage_content to ""
          tell application "Safari" to set the webpage_content to the text of document 1
          set theText to webpage_content
          set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:"
          set theFile to (open for access file ((a) & "CEXRaw") with write permission)
          write theText to theFile
          close access theFile
          delay 4
end repeat
And it returns this from the site to this main file every 4 seconds: (note I cut off a chunk from the bottom and the top of the file, because they are unimportant)
    GHS:
    0.05233439
    BTC:
    0.00000223
    NMC:
    0.00002939
    LTC:
    0.00000000
    GHS/BTC
    0.02362958 LTC/BTC
    0.02438131 NMC/BTC
    0.00597565 GHS/NMC
    3.96951800 BF1/BTC
    1.67000000 Fund Account
    GHS/BTC
    Last price:
    0.02362958
    Daily change:
    -0.00018042
    Today's open:
    0.02381000
    24h volume:
    73812.35539255
I now need an applescript to read that file, and return wanted values. But I'm lost on how to write it.
It needs to find the number under BTC, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under GHS, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under Last Price, and set it as a variable.
If anyone could script that really quick for me, or tell me how to do it, that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Couldn't tell if you had any whitespace in the lines (i.e. is there a space before or after GHS:), so I used contains, not is. Also, if you have a line such as GHS/BTC with a colon GHS/BTC: then it will also fail (as contains "BTC:" would be true for BTC: and GHS/BTC:)
However, this will give you some guidance:
set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:CEXRaw"
set x to 0
set Names to paragraphs of (read file a)
repeat with nextLine in Names
          set x to x + 1
          if nextLine contains "BTC:" then
                    set BTC to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "GHS:" then
                    set GHS to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "Last Price:" then
                    set lastPrice to item (x + 1) of Names
          end if
end repeat
