wassup for the weekend?

[slum_goddess]

i'm doing NOTHING but playing w/Hunter, cleaning up and watching films and stuff. :)

[DudeAsInCool]

I'm working on a script. What a hassle--the writer never keeps copies, so I have had to scan every page, change a pdf to text, then reformat. When I'm done with that version, I have to do the same thing with another version. Then I have to sit down and combine the best of both into a plausible scenario...and then I have to convince this Academy Award winning writer WHY he should do this. Luckly, I have his manger on my side.

Normally I wouldnt spend so much time on anything...but the subject matter is important, so I am going for it.

perhaps some more skiing and lots of drinking

That's what I did all night last night Dude...converting PDF's to Word....it's very tedious. Please let us know what you're working on when you can? I'm intrigued.

This weekend hmmm.. Wedding tomorrow and recouperating on Sunday.

It took me a couple days to find a program on the web that transferred things to text. The formatting is taking me days for just one document. I will pm you with the details

Nothing too exciting for me this weekend. Off today, still dog sitting for a friend (started that wednesday). Saturday and Sunday gotta work hockey games.

[Shawn]

I'm hoping to find some time to masturbate clean and study.

Still hoping to find a cheap car.

[Starfire]

nothing special....I think a pizza with Laura...a beer...and a lot of love on Saturday

Sunday...mmm...I really don't know

[rainbowdemon]

No plans here. It's still pretty .

I wish I can help you out...that's my job...and I'm damn good at it! LOLLL ; )

I have an advantage though...we have a PDF converter and other programs which help us save alot of time and aggravation.

I hope you like it...it was reallly out there...

Dude...

If you could scan the document (hopefully it's a good/clear copy) into Adobe Acrobat and OCR it (recognize text)...you could then...open the PDF, Edit, Select All, Cntrl+C and then in Microsoft Word...Edit/Paste Special/Unformatted Text ... you'll have all the text and minimal cleanup.

OR depending on which version of Acrobat you have ... you could scan into a PDF on Acrobat and Edit the PDF, add text, delete, highlight, etc.

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.0 for Macs, and unforunately the pdf text conversion doesnt work. I had to use ReadIris
