Post by askara »

i want to learn Japanese by reading light novel but all the raw is in pdf format and the text is not editable so i cant use online translator for help, so can anyone recommend me a OCR or Text recognition software than can convert a scanned novel pdf file into editable text file like word or something?

I believe http://www.ocr-extract.com/ accepts PDF, but the site restricts file size.
Can't you use a PDF to image converter? That usually works even for protected documents.

Try using VeryPDF OCR to any converter.
It works fine for pdf files of any language.
