Ever tried to use the text copied from Adobe PDF files in to a MS Word or any other text processor? Well, it’s a real pain to get
the sentences and paragraphs formated correctly if the source PDF file is having text arranged in columns; e.g. Magazines. The text will
be splitted with all the line breaks as a result of the coumns. Checkout the example below:
I used to use the text from PDF files for my college project reports and still remember those hours spent tapping ‘Backspace’
key to get the text alligned correctly. Then I wrote a simple C program to get it done, but it was also not that user friendly. Today I
accidently found a simple solution for it, “Autounbreak”>AutoUnbreak. AutoUnbreak is small, easy to use and extremely user friendly tool to remove the line breaks
from the PDF text.
Usage
The interface is pretty clean and so I don’t think there is any need to explain how to use this. It’s as simple as
1. Copy text from PDF & Click the Paste Button
Click the Paste after button to keep adding text.
2. Click the Unbreak! button
The text is all formatted neatly now!
3. Click the Copy results button to have formatted text in the clipboard.
You may use this tool for removing the line breaks in any text as you can see. You may download the tool from here.
