Subject: Off-topic: Convert PDF to (Con/La)TeX
Date: Sun, 12 May 2013 16:32:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <518FA7E2.7030105@telefonica.net> (raw)

Hi,

I just want to know if there is any tool to convert a pdf (generated by 
latex or context) to latex source or context source file. Does anyone 
have got an experience on that?

I'm thinking about two alternatives:
* libraries for reading like podofo and custom script for passing pdf 
context (text) to context commands
* pass pdf to jpg, and apply http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html 
for passing to tex symbols.

For me it's vital to pass mathematical symbols like (\int) to tex symbol 
and not like utf-8 symbols.

Thanks  a lot,
Xan.

Note: pdf could be substitute for ps if you want ;-)

PS: Please CCme
