[NFBCS] Calendar in PDF

[Steve Jacobson]

Greg,

To be clear, were you able to interpret the calendar directly from the text you extracted, or did you have to refer back visually to see how the information related to the date?  I have found that when I extract text from a PDF that is not very accessible that I cannot completely trust the order in which I receive it without referring back to the original document.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I have a program called File Juicer. It will extract text streams from any file you send to it PDF, old WordStar file applications you name it. It will also extract any images and so on. I sent the calendar into it. Cleaned up the results and there you have it. Then I used BrailleBlaster from APH to generate the Braille BRF version.
