remove last characters after %EOF (pdf binary file)
Hi,
I want to know how I can remove the last characters of ANY pdf file. I read it under "od" in the command shell to see which were the last characters:
$od corruptedfile.pdf -c
When I see the file, I need to keep only the last characters, or "end of the file": %EOF (obviously keeping all the characters before that one)
any command that would allow me to get rid off them?
Additionally, I would have to make a script for this...
But this is more like a personal issue
Any ideas? Maybe tail... but I don't know how to keep the X characters from the beginning and eliminate after %EOF
Thanks
