Posted October 20, 2002 · Report post I missed the GREEN book of TO SKRIPTO as it is called. HOWEVER: www.kithara.gr Is a site where thousands of lyrics, (at the moment 4353 to be precise and listed PER ARTIST and PER SONGTITLE) can be found AND easily be Copied & Pasted to WORD-file. The advantage is that you can make changes and/or additions. UNLESS someone knows how to do this with PDF files the Kithara site is the best alternative. NB. Acrobat reader used to read PDF files is an ADOBE product. There is software to make PDF-files out of WORD-files but NOT inverse. (this way copying is, more or less, prevented) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2002 · Report post The PDF file The file itself was TOO LARGE so I WINZIPPED it To_Skripto___Green_Book___Laikizonta.zip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2002 · Report post Thanks for the last file, Odyseus3. The pdf files can be read with Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded free from the Internet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2002 · Report post That is true francois. BUT if you want to take TEXT "OUT of Document" and put it as WORD-file in your PC it is impossible. You can only keep the entire PDF -file AS IT IS. What you can do is: PRINT it on paper and than SCAN with the use of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. Normally you scan PICTURES built up of thousands of pixels but OCR recognises the characters if the picture you scan is a sheet with text, AND it puts that in WORD as if you had written it yourself. HANDY for students !!!!! And it is used for instance in the banking world to read "hand written payment orders". This OCR software comes with most scanners for FREE. BUT when "NOT in Greece" it needs something more to recognise the Greek Symbols!!!!!! Because e.g in the USA they expect that users want to recognise "Roman Symbols". Therefore you may go to GOOGLE and search "SON of WinGreek". It is a very small program you can download. With the use of this Son of WinGreek AND OCR you can get all you scan as text into a WORD-file where you are further able to adjust text or add or anything.

Posted October 22, 2002 · Report post Odysseus, there are some software tools that can grab text directly from a pdf file and make it editable. I can't recommend a specific one, but I know there are out there such tools. A search with google would probably help you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2002 · Report post Thanks Nikolas. I am aware thart such tools, PDF into WORD, exist but in my mind is that there was a PRICETAG to dazzle of. (and I talk about a year or so ago) But it may be possible that gradually there is more today. I'll look into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
