OCR for software
-
I need to copy some code from one computer to another, but soft copies are forbidden for this particular computer. Standard OCR software does not do well with underscores, tildes, and the double parens that mark a procedure with no arguments. { As in: x(); } I did try using an OCR font in windows, but it did not help any. Does anyone know of an OCR app that will produce editable text from an PDF? Being able to handle landscape would be a huge bonus. Maybe even 11 x 17 in landscape. That would be really cool.
Thank you for your time

You should give Quick answers[^] a try. :-)

The latest ... Adobe reader version (x if I am correct) comes with an OCR. Just save your pdf file as text.

Foxit PDF reader[^] is awesome -- if you have a PDF, you should be able to c&p from it. Then again, I probably don't understand the details of the issue. :) Marc

Er .... you're converting a text file to pdf in order to have it read by OCR to convert it to a text file? I'm obviously missing something ... or you're crazy ... one of the two! :~
Naw, you did not miss anything. I just left out the details. I work for the government on classified computers. There is a bunch of code that the code itself it not classified, but is on a classified computer. We need to find a way to get it on an unclassified computer. Moving any type of media from a high level of classification to a lower one is strictly forbidden. The only option is to print it. Then we can retype the code in or scan it and extract the data via OCR.

Tried PDFXchange, the text was wretched, formatting was not even close. Far worse trying to correct the errors than to just type in from a print out.
