One line spacing every sentence

edy101edy · 08-07-2011, 02:25 AM

Hi, would like to know what I am doing wrong because every time I convert a file ex. PDF to TXT, there is a always one line space in each sentence. Hope anyone knows how to solve this. thanks

I'm not sure what you're experiencing, but have you read the Sticky post on PDF conversions?

@dwanthny

Yup I read it already but it is not only restricted to PDF file. I have converted a PRC file to TXT and there is a line spacing.

example:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Above will be written as:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The

quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Has anyone encountered this?

Yes and one way that works is to convert the PDF to ZIP then the ZIP to MOBI. (Doesn't ALWAYS work but often doing that will fix it).

Sorry--you want to convert to TXT not MOBI. Still you should try it. PDF to ZIP, ZIP to TXT.

Next time you convert a file with these results try clicking on heuristic processing and select unwrap lines .40 or .45 should work.

Good Luck.

Thanks. Tried it but with the same effect. Even if i opened the converted txt file in notepad there is always one line space in between.

Sorry, I never convert to txt (only) and I avoid, plague_upon_my_eyes PDF as a source.
remember to make your changes in the Conversion screen (or click 'restore defaults' to use newer preferences).

Preferences only get used on new conversions

Have you tried the various (Preferences - Output options - text output) output format options (plain, markdown and textile) in the Text output section?
