quizzy Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Does anyone know a program that can convert text in a jpg or tiff to true type fonts? I need to create pdf's from scanned articles. Photo's and text are combined on one page of this article, and I can not use the "create paper online" function.. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingo Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Well you need an OCR program that does that (optical Character Recognition), otherwise save it as PDF and live with the textproblem. Depends on what viewing size you need the PDF. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcahunak Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Most scanners come with an OCR program nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojciech Klepacki Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hi, Try this one: http://www.abbyy.com/index.htm. It's FineReader from ABBYY. Very nice, easy to use and powerful software. Works directly form MS Word (if u like this way), has remarkable text recognition engine, built-in speller, etc. But if u need it atonce try to use Adobe Illustrator and import text via clipboard or open *.doc file. It works fine. rgds, Wojciech Klepacki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 I found the solution: its called paper capture. Its a plugin for adobe acrobat and its free to download here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1907 you can take scanned tiff's or excisting tiff's and load them into adobe acrobat, and change all the bitmap text to true type text... VERY NICE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
