predictive text trial software / shareware for linux

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

Advanced Typewriter Text Effects is a good utility for your use. It is designed as an excellent way to display multiple messages whilst leaving the majority of your page free for the real content.

PDFTextStream project is a PDF text and metadata extraction library available for Java, Python, and .NET.

It supports all versions of the PDF document specification, (including v1.6, used by Acrobat 7), extraction of text encoded using double-byte character sets (including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), decryption of 40-bit and 128-bit encrypted documents, and extraction of all document metadata provided by PDF documents (including form data, bookmarks, and annotations).

Easy integration with Jakarta Lucene is included.

About:Edit is a client/server application that allows you to use your browser to edit your text and source code files directly on the server enjoying most if not all of the conveniences of the traditional desktop text editors, including syntax-highlighting, multiple document editing and much much more - just about everything one would expect from a decent text and source code editor.
With About:Edit you can choose between different methods of accessing your files on server - access them directly using the permissions of the web server user, or through FTP or SFTP communication protocols.
About:Edit is available is two separate versions. A complete version, which looks and behaves exactly as a traditional desktop editor, and a plugin version, that allows you to incorporate a syntax-highlightng editor into a web page.
What About:Edit is not
About:Edit is not a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) online HTML editor nor it is a Rich Text Editor. It is a syntax-highlighting editor, doing in the Internet environment the same job as conventional text editors (such as EditPlus or UltraEdit) do in the desktop environment.
Why would I need it?
About:Edit is an unique product with no working alternatives that we are aware of. For some it is cool, but totally useless application. For others, however, it provides a solution to their real-life problems. Some of our customers say theyve been waiting for years for such a product to become available. Some shift their entire development online. Web developers use it to power CMS, administration back-end or web hosting applications. Even if none of the above applies to you a smart choice would be to have a backup way to easily access your files while on the move.
What do I need to use About:Edit?
The complete version of About:Edit is a cross-browser, cross-platform, client/server applcation. The client-side part of About:Edit is written in JavaScript and the server-side part is written in PHP. All you need to use About:Edit is a modern version of Mozilla or Internet Explorer browser and a PHP-enabled web server, such as Apache or IIS. The plugin version is intended for web developers and is a pure JavaScript application that can be used with any back-end.
Main features:
- Friendly, powerful, desktop-like user interface
- Direct, FTP or SFTP access to your files
- Color syntax highlighting
- Multilingual support
- Multiple documents editing
- Unlimited Undo and Redo
- Integrated search bar
- Text selections with mouse and keyboard
- Cut/Copy/Paste operations
- Soft and Hard Tabs
- Auto Indent
Enhancements:
- Maintenance and stability fixes were made.
- The API was refined.
- Auto-indent, insert mode, and the default line-end character can now be controlled.

Active Scrolling Text & News Scroller software is a JavaScript function that is capable of scrolling any HTML content, including text and images.
The style, size, scrolling speed, and page pausing of the scrolled content can be configured. A configurator tool is provided, enabling easy installation
Main features:
Lightweight
- The scrolling text code is contained in two very small files (less than 9kb in total!). This makes the function very fast to load and execute.
Simple to Use
- With the Configurator Tool, adding the scrolling function to a page becomes very very easy for anyone. It is entirely possible to add a scrolling box to a page within just a few minutes.
Fully 100% Cross Browser and OS Compatible
- This scrolling function is based on standard browser technology (CSS and JavaScript) and therefore will operate on all browsers and all operating systems.
Scroll Content is Visible to Search Engines
- Unlike many scrollers, the content is supplied via standard HTML which resides within the page. This means that when a search engine visits the page, the scrolling content will be read just like the rest of your page content.
Accessibility and Section 508 Compliance
- Again because the scrolling content resides as standard HTML within the page, this function is fully compliant with section 508.
