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.


Have you seen the mudraw program of mupdf
http://www.mupdf.com/
?
It has a -t switch that outputs txt  and a -tt and -ttt switches that output xml.
