Installing using Brew: brew install poppler You will then have to add the bin/ folder to PATH or use poppler_path = r"C:\path\to\poppler-xx\bin" as an argument in convert_from_path. I recommend version which is the most up-to-date. Windows users will have to build or download poppler for Windows. Validating the claim is much harder, but doesn’t need to do that.A python (3.7 ) module that wraps pdftoppm and pdftocairo to convert PDF to a PIL Image object How to install Probably easiest to install xpdf (using brew, if you have that), and call pdfinfo from an applescript. Next, a file encoded with one of the versions of pdf/a ~ % pdfinfo -meta pdf3.pdfĪpplication/pdfUnknown TitleABBYY FineReader PDF For MacABBYY FineReader PDF For Macuuid:00002A8F-0281-78AE-1219-662C1A4CEFBBPDF/UA Universal Accessibility Schema, which part of ISO 14289 standard is followed1ĭetection of the pdf/a claim means scanning the metadata for pdfaSchema tags. Page size: 515.5 x 696.5 pts (rotated 0 degrees) I generated some pdf/a files using abbyy finereader, and used the command line tool pdfinfo to look at the result.įirst, plain old pdf ~ % pdfinfo -meta pdfnoa.pdf I already tried many command line tools to extract infos from the files, but the format (PDF/X, PDF/A, …) couldn’t be read. It would be a great simplification if I could recognize in DT that it is a PDF/A and that I didn’t have to first check with Adobe Acrobat whether it is one. Another way was to save them with Adobe Acrobat. Until now i used an automator workflow to “flatten” these files before importing them into Devonthink and annotating was possible. If they are PDF/A with every first annotation the text isn’t “readable” anymore (all characters are “?”). I need to annotate these files (or a copy of them) in DT. Does anyone have a solution or hint?īackground: I receive many PDF/A files from other people (Unfortunately, these are almost always not marked as PDF/A or non-PDF/A). Probably some sort of code could be written (AppleScript, Python, Perl, … whatever) to be integrated with DEVONthink using the specification for PDF vs. Others can comment on both.Ĭould be some way in DEVONthink that I don’t know about. ![]() Both files with OCR info (PDF Text as labeled in DEVONthink) of course grew in size.Ĭould be some way in DEVONthink that I don’t know about. Both files could be OCR-ed with DEVONthink’s tool for OCR into new files. I created a PDF and PDF/A of a 1-page document using a Brother ADS-1700W. Re the OCR question, I ran an experiment. Probably can write your own tool if you know the content spec of the PDF/A and PDF (probably published somewhere). Internet searching came up with tools available from Adobe and others. In Preview, PDF/A documents are not editable ( as intended by the PDF/A standard, but I don’t know where that “enforced”. “info” in Finder, that can distinguish between PDF and PDF/A. I cannot find anything in DEVONthink or in Mac OSX, e.g.
