{{McNair Projects
|Has title=PDF to Text Converter
|Has owner=Christy Warden,
|Has keywords=PDF, txt, python
|Has notes=Not originally written by Christy, possibly Harsh?
}}
=Overview=
This code is located at E:/McNair/Software/Google_Scholar_Crawler/pdf_to_txt_bulk_PTLR.py
This program converts a directory of PDFs to .txt files. All the new txt files will be placed in a new folder 'within' the provided directory of PDFs called 'Text Versions'
=How to use=
Open the python file in Komodo. At the bottom of the file, change the variable src_dir to the name of the directory of PDF files you want to convert to txt. Uncomment the line that says
''#main(src_dir)''
Click the play button the top center of the screen.
=Notes=
This program runs painfully slowly because PDFs are painful and slow.
