gPDFText

gPDFText is a handy text editor that works with GTK+. It's designed to help you open PDF documents, especially for ebook readers. The cool part? It takes the text from those PDFs and turns it into plain ASCII text. This means it keeps the original paragraphs intact and gets rid of annoying line breaks, making it way easier to zoom in when you're reading on your device.

Fixing PDF Problems

So, you know how a lot of PDF files still use A4 or letter-sized pages? When you try to read these on an ebook reader, you often have to zoom in so much that the text becomes tiny! If you just export the PDF into a text file, you'll end up with messy line breaks and all sorts of issues because of how PDFs show page headers and footers. This can make converting them a real pain.

How gPDFText Works

With gPDFText, it's super simple! It loads up your PDF, pulls out the text, and then cleans it up by reformatting those paragraphs into long lines. Once that's done, it puts everything into a standard GTK+ editor where you can tweak things as needed.

Your Text Made Easy

The result? A plain text file that’s perfect for your ebook reader! There are no unwanted line breaks messing things up, so you can zoom in to whatever size feels right for you while reading.
