I have written a little program to eliminate unwanted line breaks from txt files converted from PDF (I am a freelance programmer). This after getting unsatisfying responses to
this thread I posted. Nothing personal against those who helped, but none of the options looked attractive.
So what you will do is, open a PDF file using your Adobe Reader, chose the option to "Save as Text." Once the pdf file has been converted to txt, you'd use my utility to get rid of unwanted lines before importing it a format of your choice.
I'd love to make it available to the public and get feedback, but the only problem is, I do not have a public website to make the program available to you. So let me know if you wish to corroborate with me on this.
Also, if the interest level is high, I would like to write an utility to fix HTML files to do the same.
If somebody has done this already, please let me know.
Thanks. My email is
