Subject: Converting .gif to .txt
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 01:42:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <380-2200624964217314@M2W030.mail2web.com> (raw)

Hi,

How can one convert a text document which has been scanned and therefore
has become a
.gif file back to a .txt file in order that one can copy and paste text
from it.

I was told it can be done with some software in windows. Is there such
software in
Linux?

I was able to convert a .gif file in question to .pdf and open it with
acroread. Acroread has an option to convert to text, however, trying to do
it I get an empty file.

Thanks for any information.

Peter
