I've not been able to get anywhere with pdftotext or PDF OCR software so I'm looking OMR using image comparison. So far, I have: converted each page into PPM (PDFTOPPM) for each page cropped each line into a separate PNG file I also have got images for each field containing the label and a tick and another containing the label and a cross. Is there an easy way to detect if the label+tick PNG image is contained in the line PNG? (it doesn't have to be a PNG) On Tuesday 06 October 2015 09:44:50 Gary Stainburn wrote: > Hi folks, > > Thanks to help from here I've managed to get pseudo printers working with > CUPS to allow Windows PC's to print a document which then gets converted to > PDF, has stationery applied to it, and the result emailed back to the > requesting user. > > I'm now on phase 2 of the project which uses > > pseudo printer -> ps2pdf -> pdftotext -layout > > to generate a text file which then is used to import data into my systems. > This method is because the system that generates the report doesn't have an > export facility. > > My only problem with this is that the generating system uses images of a > tick and a cross to indicate some boolean values. > > Can anyone suggest how I can convert these ticks and crosses back to their > boolean value? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
