Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Limitations of 'pdftotext' in Linux... Post 303041319 by kenlenard on Thursday 21st of November 2019 09:46:47 AM

Mmm, apparently my version of Acrobat will not let me check the accessibility of the document. I feel like the barcodes are NOT the issue because we have PDFs come in with logos, etc. and those items are just ignored by pdftotext and the actual readable text is what comes out in the text file. Just the sheer size of the file suggests that it could be an image/scan which I could see causing problems... no actual text exists in the document. Also, I saved the document in Acrobat as TTS_NEW2.pdf and it saved without issue.
