line trial software / shareware for linux

LinesHelper can remove the noise lines from faxed documents.

Faxed documents often contain annoying horizontal lines due to communication noise on the telephone line. Scanned document in some cases, also have horizontal or vertical lines due to the banding or folding of papers. By utilizing LinesHelper these lines can automatically be removed.

The document structure analysis and character recognition are usually done in several phases:

scanning
thresholding
skew detection and correction
despeckle or speckle removal
line removal
border removal
detection of preprinted elements (like boxes)
page orientation detection and correction
layout analysis
classification
character recognition

Each step must be completed well enough for the performance of the sequence and result to be successful. Steps that follow the line removal are inefficient if the correction fails.

LinesHelper finds and removes horizontal and vertical lines and repairs overlapping text and graphics on binary images. The line removal filter can also be configured to reconstruct horizontal and vertical lines, redrawing them straight with smooth edges. LinesHelper expects as input a monochrome image.

PDFlib TET (Text Extraction Toolkit) is software for reliably extracting text information from any PDF file. It is available as a library/component and as a command-line tool. TET makes available the text contents of a PDF as Unicode strings or structured XML, plus detailed glyph and font information. With TET you can retrieve the corresponding Unicode values for text in a PDF document, as well as its position on the page.
In addition to low-level text retrieval TET contains advanced content analysis algorithms for determining word boundaries, removing redundant duplicate text (such as shadows and artificial bold). Using the auxiliary pCOS interface you can retrieve arbitrary objects from the PDF, such as metadata, hypertext, etc.
Fully functional evaluation versions of TET including documentation and samples are available from the TET download page for all supported platforms. Purchasing a license and applying the license key will fully enable the evaluation version for production deployment.
With PDFlib TET you can:
- extract text from PDF, e.g. to store it in a database
- implement a search engine for processing PDF
- convert the text content of PDF pages to XML for processing with other tools
- process PDFs based on their contents
Supported PDF Input
PDFlib TET supports all relevant flavors of PDF input:
- all PDF versions up to PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8)
- all font and encoding types: base 14 fonts, TrueType, PostScript, OpenType, CID fonts
- encrypted PDF with 40- and 128-bit encryption (appropriate permission settings or password required)
Unicode
Although text in PDF is usually not encoded in Unicode, PDFlib TET will normalize the text from a PDF document to Unicode:
- TET converts all text contents to Unicode. In C the text will be returned in the UTF-8 or UTF-16 formats, and as native Unicode strings in all other language bindings.
- Ligatures and other multi-character glyphs will be decomposed into a sequence of their constituent Unicode characters.
- Vendor-specific Unicode assignments (Private Use Area, PUA) are identified, and mapped to characters in the common Unicode area if possible.
- Glyphs without appropriate Unicode mappings are identified as such, and are mapped to a configurable replacement character.
Full CJK Support
TET includes full support for extracting Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text. All predefined CJK CMaps (encodings) are recognized; horizontal and vertical writing modes are supported.
Content Analysis and Word Identification
TET can be used to retrieve low-level glyph information, but also includes advanced algorithms for content analysis:
- Detect word boundaries to retrieve words instead of characters.
- Recombine the parts of hyphenated words.
- Remove duplicate instances of text, e.g. shadow and artificial bold text.
- Recombine paragraphs into reading order.
- Reorder text which is scattered over the page.
- Reconstruct lines of text.
Geometry
TET provides precise metrics for the text, such as the position on the page, glyph widths, text direction. Specific areas on the page can be excluded or included in the text extraction, e.g. to ignore headers and footers or margins.
Version restrictions:
- Unlicensed versions support all features, but will only process PDF documents with up to 10 pages and 1 MB size. Evaluation versions of TET must not be used for production purposes, but only for evaluating the product. Using TET for production purposes requires a valid TET license.
Enhancements:
- repair mode for damaged PDF repairs damaged documents which were rejected by earlier versions of TET
- support for PDF 1.7, the file format of Acrobat 8
- support for AES-encrypted PDF (appropriate password required)
- TET command-line tool: extract the text based on article threads in the document
- updated pCOS interface (the same pCOS as in PDFlib 7)
- Perl language binding
- many new heuristics and workarounds
- Unicode mappings for more documents
- improvements in the Wordfinder
- various bug fixes
- TET Plugin for Acrobat as a free tool and TET technology demo

Lunar Domination is a financial strategy game that combines traditional war strategy elements with business and finances. Lunar Domination pits you against a challenging opponent in a fight for the domination of the lunar ore market. Unlike most strategy games that you are probably used to, Lunar Domination has no weapons or violence of any kind. The only weapon that is available to you in this game is your mind.
Lunar Domination is based on the concept of a market economy, and revolves around the competition between you and your opponent. In order to defeat your opponent, you must be the first to fill the ore quotas of two of the three clients in the scenario. Accomplishing this involves buying land, constructing buildings, and of course mining and selling the ore to the clients. Six different buildings with a unique approach to game economy, land management and resource management combine to create a challenging and rewarding experience.
Main features:
- Quick introductory tutorial so you can start playing in just ten minutes.
- Turn based gameplay, so you can take your time to weigh your decisions.
- Adjustable difficulty level to make the game challenging, but not too hard.
- Large and small scenarios so you can pick how long you want to play.
- Runs on most computers including laptops, 3D graphics card not required.
Installation instructions:
If your distribution is LSB compliant, the installer will create a program group and desktop shortcut for you. Otherwise you will have to create a shortcut manually, or run the game from the command line.
To run the game from the command line, you must run the shell script named "launch_lunar_domination" that is located in the games install directory. Running the executable directly will not work.
Known issues:
To run the game you must have libc version 2.4 or higher installed. Recent versions of most Linux distributions meet this requirement. If you have an older version of a distribution, an appropriate update should be available for it from its maintainers to upgrade to libc 2.4.
If you are running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you will need to install the package "ia32-libs" if you have not done so already. This package provides support for running 32-bit applications. Other 64-bit Debian based distributions (including Debian itself) may require installation of this package as well if it was not installed by default.
