![]() Even if such a thing takes time to write and debug, it finds instances that I had missed by eye. But handy for checking hundreds of pages or many, many documents. ![]() We then loop over the file page by page, checking for the bit of text in the second command line argument.Ĭrude, I know. We run pdfinfo, use grep and cut to isolate the page number, then run that through dos2unix in case the string has the wrong line ending. The content you previously copied will paste into the window. Hover your mouse over Edit and select Paste. The keyboard shortcut Alt + Tab will allow you to change active windows while right-clicking prompts a menu to pop up. PAGES=$() takes the value produced by that line of instructions and puts it into the variable PAGES. Go to the Cygwin window and right-click a blank spot. How to install Cygwin on Windows 11Part of the series on Tape Data Storage we show how to install Cygwin on Windows 11 it is also the same to install on Wind. More for my own amusement than anything else. The getopts bit just sees if the user has passed a -h option to the script, and prints out some help. This just shows a few things you can do in bash, as well. Pdffonts -f $PAGE -l $PAGE "$FILE" 2> /dev/null | grep "$2" PAGES=$(pdfinfo "$FILE" | grep Pages | cut -d ':' -f 2 | dos2unix) # I use dos2unix because I am running Cygwin and I grab binaries from all over the place. # filefont -h gives help, but so does just looking at the script.Įcho where fontpattern might be Times, say.Įcho Search is case sensitive unless you put -i in front of grep within this script.Įcho "(Or you could just search for imes or oman or talic and skip the first letter.)" If you have the needed programs installed, you might use a script: #! /usr/bin/bash So at the Linux/Cygwin prompt, say you want to check for Times (in this case, it should not be there!): $ for f in do echo Page $f pdffonts -f $f -l $f "$g" 2> /dev/null | grep Times done done If you just want to OCR a PDF file, you can use a program that is well-maintained and already packaged, namely ocrmypdf.Pdfinfo will tell you how many pages. ![]() You can, then, perform any surgery that you see fit with tools like scantailor or whatever you like. with cygwin build system: Fix cygwin 32-bit compile cmake tweaks. Prefix-002.png prefix-049.png prefix-096.png prefix-143.png pdfinfo: Improved paper size recognition pdfsig: Fix exit code when dumping. The files will be created inside the directory imgs with names starting with prefix, as in: $ ls You can use something like the following (assuming you have created a directory named imgs where you will put your images): pdfimages -png Faraway-PRA.pdf imgs/prefix The real actionĪfter that, you can simply extract the images with pdfimages itself or use pdftoppm (also from poppler-utils) to render entire pages in many formats that you may like (e.g., tiff, for scanning with tesseract). Note: The file deptest.pdf used above is available from pdfsizeopt's repository. It also lists the format in which the images are stored in the PDF, which is cool (sometimes, it is JBIG2, sometimes JPEG2000 etc.) ![]() Notice the x-ppi and y-ppi at the listing above. Page num type width height color comp bpc enc interp object ID x-ppi y-ppi size ratioġ 0 image 100 100 gray 1 1 image no 9 0 53 53 169B 14%Ģ 1 image 100 100 gray 1 1 ccitt no 53 53 698B 56% Since I am interested in the same kind of job (though not necessarily to OCR the PDF files, but to convert them to DjVu and then OCR them), I found this question and the responses lacking (since I needed to guess the DPI of the images with the number of pixels and then use the size as output by pdfinfo or other tricks-not to mention that the images inside a PDF may have different densities etc.).Īfter a lot of research more, I found that you can use pdfimages (from package poppler-utils) like the following: $ pdfimages -list deptest.pdf ![]()
