Useful fix?
Authored by: indyandy on Friday, December 28 2012 @ 07:09 PM EST
PJ, I don't know if you or your volunteers have invested too much time in
existing scripts, but - for this PDF at least - it is interesting to try the
-raw switch in pdftotext.

pdftotext -raw ApplevSamsung-1839.pdf fixed.txt

The output file - fixed.txt - not only appears to have all the text in the
correct order, but also removes the line numbers so they can be eliminated very
simply by script. The page I corrected earlier now looks like this in
fixed.txt

A THAT'S CORRECT.
Q ISN'T IT CORRECT, SIR, THAT PRIOR TO THE
FILING OF THIS LAWSUIT, APPLE NEVER TOLD SAMSUNG
THAT IT WAS INFRINGING SPECIFIC DESIGN PATENTS BY
NUMBER?
A WE TOLD THEM THAT THEY INFRINGED DESIGN
PATENTS OF OURS, BUT WE DIDN'T ALLOCATE THOSE
NUMBERS TO THEM, THAT'S CORRECT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SEVERAL OF THOSE
PATENTS HADN'T YET ISSUED.
Q MR. TEKSLER, PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION. IS IT
CORRECT THAT APPLE NEVER SPECIFIED ANY DESIGN
PATENTS TO SAMSUNG THAT IT ALLEGES IN THIS CASE
PRIOR TO THE LAWSUIT?
A ANY ENUMERATED NUMBER? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING?
Q YES, MR. TEKSLER.
A YES, I AGREE.
MS. MAROULIS: OKAY. I DON'T HAVE ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU AT THIS TIME.
THE COURT: OKAY. THE TIME IS NOW 9:07.
IS THERE ANY REDIRECT?
MR. MUELLER: PLEASE, YOUR HONOR.
THE COURT: OKAY. GO AHEAD, PLEASE.
MR. MUELLER: MAY I PROCEED, YOUR HONOR?
