People may be interested to know that there are plenty of free OCR websites (Optical Character Recognition) that will convert your PDF "image" into actual, editable text.
We use them in work all the time because our scanners only create pdfs, jpegs or tiffs.
Edit: Glad people found this tip helpful! Just wanted to add a couple of things:
Regarding privacy, many of the websites state in their Privacy Policy/Term & Conditions/FAQ whether or not they store your documents, and for how long. Certainly look into them before uploading anything with confidential info. Some things might be worth retyping just to err on the side of caution!
For those asking what scanners we use, they are big Savin multi-function copy machines. There are some machines with OCR-scan capabilities, but we don't have them and this is a quick & easy alternative for us.
As some mentioned, you can also upload the pdf to Google Drive and then open it with Google Docs, but I've had much worse luck maintaining formatting that way.
2nd Edit: There are certainly limitations to the services since they are free, so in that sense it's not all that great for bulky scans. I generally use OnlineOCR, which has a limit of 15 pages/hour as a guest user, or Free Online OCR, which will limit your free conversion to 10 pages. Still, they may occasionally come in handy if you occasionally need to convert a couple of pages.
Are the words very legible? If so, you could do it yourself. Size 12 Verdana is a good, readable font.
What you'd want is something called an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program. Something like this: http://www.onlineocr.net/
I would imagine a good piece of software would have no trouble picking up 12pt Verdana.
You could try scanning in a couple of pages yourself to test it, and if it all works okay take the entire thing to a print shop and ask them to scan it all in for you as a PDF.
I once scanned 1000 pages of A4 at a print shop near me and it cost me around £40, to give you an idea of pricing.
Good luck!
Just a heads up - you can use sites like this one to convert text in images to text instantly.
>What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I am a 4-time Superbowl champion, and I've been involved in numerous secret operations with Coach Belichick, and I have over 390 confirmed touchdown passes. I am trained in an uptempo offense and I'm the top quarterback in the entire National Football League. You are nothing to me but just another worthless team. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision passes the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of NFL scouts across the USA and your team is being observed right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your team. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can defeat you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in aerial attacks, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the most elite running backs and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the NFL, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Your team is fucking dead, kiddo.
> I don't need to hear your thoughts or reasoning. The fact that you accept a bigot, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, sexual predator, fraud, conman, someone who mocks the disabled, someone who strips freedom away from women and minorities, someone who only protects his own special interests, doesn't believe in climate change, has disrespect for Native Americans, no regard for the environment, is buddies with a war criminal, is supported by the kkk, disrespects freedom riders, is a white supremacist, bans Muslims, appoints corrupt cabinet members.... the list goes on. If none of that affects you, then yes we have an extremely different morale, character, and sense of integrity. I'm nauseated by the fact that you can support that and take pride in that level of hatred and propoganda. It's deeply disturbing to me and I don't know when your mind shifted in this direction. I want to live in a house and among people who believe in love and your support for this administration proves otherwise.

You can use online OCR but you generally need to take the image, boost it's size by 300% to 300 dpi, and then it works - try http://www.onlineocr.net/
Luckily, Windows is pretty transparent about the human-readable names for filetypes. They're mostly collected in the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" registry hive, and filed under whatever application the given file type is associated with.
You can use regedit to manually change these. The search function can be invaluable here, as it is very unlikely that the string "煤体文件" appears anywhere else in your registry.
Look for application names instead of extension types; for example, VLC defines its M4A filetype definition in "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VLC.m4a". If you look up "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.m4a", it'll merely tell you the name of the program that's associated with the type.
Unless you have some easier way to do it, you could use an online OCR service to convert the characters to a format you can actually use, should you have multiple formats to deal with.
I'm not sure if anyone has written a utility to deal with this kind of problem directly, but that's how I would do this manually.
(But the level of compromise you had strongly suggests you should do a clean install.)

For future reference, no need to transcribe manually with "typical" images of text - just run it through one of the free online OCR services like this - http://www.onlineocr.net/

At 850 yards the 2 pounder would have been able to penetrate at least 30mm of armor at a good angle, which would have given it a fair chance against the Panzer III. At the time the latter would have been equipped with the 5cm KwK 38 L/42 with slightly better penetration, more than enough to penetrate the relatively poor armor of the Cruisers during this period.

No idea about your original question, but for your goal - have you considered a free online tool to OCR the PDF and save it as a Word doc? Then you can search and save it all you want... This is just one of many I've seen online before...
There are online services that use OCR server-side. e.g. http://www.onlineocr.net/
File limit is 5mb which may or may not be a problem. You could just split the 200 page pdf by pages. Every x pages has 5 mb of data type of deal.
I'd say your best bet would be to scan it in (to PDF), either with at home if you have a scanner, or pay to do it at a print shop/ library. Depending on how clear the print is, you might have some success with PDF to text conversion e.g. Online OCR (I know google docs does it as well, which has worked well for short docs with me in the past).
From there, there's a lot of print-on-demand sites you could get it done at (Lulu etc.), but at that length it would be quite costly... and I'm not the best person to ask about that anyway : ))
Good luck with the book!
You are looking for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. Nothing free comes to mind, but ABBYY Finereader would do the job well. You can also look at this list for alternatives (here's a random web service I found, but not sure how well this would work)

There's a tonne of software that does that... Not sure if any of it is free though. I'm sure it's called OCR(optical character recognition).

Doing a quick google search for a pdf ocr I came up with the following
Without seeing a sample of the source material I'm not sure if there is much more I can do to help you but I hope this puts you on the right track.
In on this. I tried a bunch of things on android yesterday, google has a scanner on android.. tried microsoft office lens, few others. Most output a .jpg or .pdf but none had OCR meaning I couldn't search my documents. I'm actually looking to write a little python program for fun that logs my shopping lists to a database and then I have that data to play with in the future, but I have yet to find a reliable app that can scan a receipt and output a real pdf. Saving an image as a pdf doesn't count IMO...
I uploaded a few images to http://www.onlineocr.net/ which basically converts an image to OCR text and it was OK but it had problems, even with very sharp images..confusing '$' for '4', messing up 0 and O and just placing the wrong characters in the wrong spots. I'd LOVE an app that can truely line itemize a receipt I scan into searchable, copy-able TEXT. It might be my android hardware (galaxy grand prime) but the google app didn't do it, microsoft lens didn't do it..I'll keep trying expensify, onereceipt.com but I ran out of time yesterday.

The pdf was created by a scan, and no OCR was applied to it afterwards, i.e. the pages consist of pictures without any text information. You will have to run an OCR on it, e.g. by using a program like Adobe Acrobat or some online tool, e.g. http://www.onlineocr.net/. This can be prone to errors, so be sure to manually doublecheck the output.
Do it yourself http://www.onlineocr.net
I'm kinda sick of seeing easily solved shit like this in this sub, almost everything I see here is solved quicker by doing it yourself instead of posting and expecting someone else to do it for you. 9 times out of 10 the info is probably in the side bar, and if not it's a 5 second google search away. The other 1 time is probably a legit question.

Edit: I'm not sure if the above website is listed anywhere on this sub so fair enough if you didn't know it exists, but yeah please use it and spare us the endless translation questions.
For a rough translation, an extractor could be paired with a translator. I haven't used this in particular, but have used a similar extension I can't find. I think VNR has a function to do both at once, but haven't used it.
It was Online OCR You only get 25 pages per email. So I made them through various 10 minute email sites. I also made the dropbox just for those. They'll be up until Dropbox deletes them or goes out of business. Later tonight I'll try stitching them together.
Okay, I finished all of Time Trap using this site to convert the images, and then manually going through to add paragraphs/italics and remove extra hyphens/page numbers/book titles. I also had to retype a few sentences, but this is still probably much less work than retyping the whole book.
Everything is already copied onto the googledoc.
EDIT: Tweaked the doc a bit and removed some of the errors I missed the first time around. There might be more, but I'm fairly sure I got at least 99% of them.
That can be a little tricky. What you need is to edit that photo and crop out anything that you do not want in the final spreadsheet (So it looks like this: http://imgur.com/z4SEgZ0 ). Then you need to throw it against your favorite OCR program :). The result won't be pretty, but it should contain everything, and will only need a minimal amount of formatting. A quick search turned up this website: http://www.onlineocr.net/default.aspx . I am not sure how good they are as I have never used it before.
Hope this helps!
Still pretty cool! :)

I found a free OCR service to convert the image to text, did some basic editing and added HTML tags and voila -- you should be able to paste that into nearly any software and make something presentable looking.
I have not used it personally but give http://www.onlineocr.net/ a try. You will need to scan/photograph the pages first then upload. If you do not need to be able to do text searches of the pages then just scan. No need to convert to text.

My way of updating: 1. take screenshot with power tooltip 2. cut only tooltip in paint - save as new image 3. go to http://www.onlineocr.net/ or http://www.free-ocr.com/ and load screenshot (both pages have thier limitations - f.e. first can read 15 images/hour, and there are bad results for colored text). You can use any OCR - probably there are better tools that provides better results. 4. Take text and fill the power info 5. Fix issues after reading it with ocr
I tend to use http://www.onlineocr.net/ alot for school. It Extracts text from PDF and images (JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF) and converts it into editable Word, Excel and Text output formats. Useful for at work or school where you have to copy out a paragraph that's unable to be highlighted.
Look up "Optical Character Recognition." That is the term for creating text documents from existing hand written notes.
It can be pricey software and requires a scanner. Here is an example that even offers a free trial.
Sorry I'm without my computer for 2 days so I can't upload it in time for you. If you still need it, there's a tool called OCR to convert those "Full tables" images I linked to an Excel file, I tried it in the past and it worked. The tool is here
I was just speculating that if military limitation saved Germany 2% of GDP in government spending, the same might go for Britain, France etc., offering the victors a potential $5bn annual dividend. I wonder if any Weimar statesman suggested as much. Of course given how the interwar period ended we may be relieved that they kept spending, but it's a case for all-round reduction that might have improved the economic outlook.
Argh, I'd forgotten the PDFs. You can try scanning them into an online OCR converter like the appropriately-named www.onlineocr.net/ - it's a pain, but I've found it works with text as image and manages some translation - otherwise select output in German and run the resulting text through Google translate.

I did a jpeg to text conversion here, and then translated the resulting text here (with auto-language select). You might get better results with manual language selection, but sometimes you can figure out what is being said even from translations like this given their context. Good luck.

Ok. This means you most likely cannot simply copy the entire table and paste directly into excel/word/etc. Some kind of OCR (optical character recognition) is needed. Not something I have personally done with pdfs but I figure some googling should show up some useable tools.
First hit on google with the search term "PDF to excel ocr" could work: http://www.onlineocr.net/
However, you will still most likely need to proof-read to make sure that the OCR method did its job correctly.

It could be tricky but give a try to scanning them all into a big pdf file go to http://www.onlineocr.net/ and output to Excel .xlsx file, hopefully it'll work out where the email address is in one column and the name is in another, then you just have to insert a row into row 1 and label the right columns such as Email Address and Name, then just save as a .csv and import into Outlook.
Copy the captcha and make the background black so the text is clearly visible, crop the image so you only have the symbols, then upload the jpeg file to http://www.onlineocr.net/ and select plain text.
This is true. OCR is far from perfect and sometimes it's just more cost effective to retype the damn document then to scan it in and proofread the errors out. You can test it out and see by using something like this: http://www.onlineocr.net/
