covlass Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I have recieved several files some over 200 pages long. I am unable to search the doc's for certain text as the files have benn sent as pictures is there any software I can download to convert the files to text. I have converted to text and opened in word but as they are pictures I am still unable to search for certain words. Is this possible or do i need to print them off and read the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted September 22, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2007 What are the file formats? If they are .pdf then adobe reader can search the text.(just press ctrl+F). If they are .jpg or .png or any other picture format than you are SOL. There are programs that claim to be able to convert pictures to text but the ones I've tried are really crappy and inaccurate.
