Wrong! PDF most definately stores text. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David A. Desrosiers" <hacker@gnu-designs.com> To: "Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion" <gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org> Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 6:04 AM Subject: Re: [gutvol-d] roundtripping formatted text through a .pdf
make a few global changes -- which restores the whitespace acrobat usually strips from text -- and you can load the text back into my z.m.l. viewer-program and generate the same .pdf once again...
Acrobat doesn't store text in PDFs, they store pixels and vectors and OCR'd coordinates. Most-definately not text.
