Mar 19, 2011
I want to be able to preform functions on the PDF such as enlarge font and copy & paste. I'm using Gnome, but will download packages and dependencies for any desktop environment.

I want to display the contents of a particular log file (simple text file, I mean in Linux). But there is a problem: The contents need to be organized in a fixed format. Have a look at this log file:
So, while displaying the contents of above file on a web page, I want to format the field names found in the log file: User Name:, Reported Problems Description:, and Remarks:. These fields may contain a variable length of text and no specific line number is assumed for them to appear on.
Well, what I am trying to do may sound wierd to some of you. The filed "Reported Problems Description:" can possible contain text which embeds colon (.

Does anybody know of a nautilus script that pastes the copied file(s) in either Unix or Windows text formatting? I figure this would be useful so I don't have to convert the files after copying them. Saves some time and makes it easier for a Linux beginner still using Windows.
I need to extract som text from a text file. The text is a test log with system info at the top and results further down. What I need is to add different tags with formatting before and after each line. I have prepared a template with html formatting, but the number of lines in the test log may be different from case to case, so I need to be able to add formatting tags by need. Can this be done using bash script, sed, awk, head, tail... ?
When I try to open text file with mouse pad or kate write all I see is PK and in small letters HF over TF_. I have no idea how this happened. How do I get my text document back? Using XFCE4.6.1, mousepad and kate write for my journal. Properties says its a zip archive but I didn't do that. Anyway tried to unzip it and got:
Code: PowerJustice may be a plain executable, not an archive unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of PowerJustice or PowerJustice.zip, and cannot find PowerJustice.ZIP, period.
I'm trying to fill in an application form that I downloaded. It has some shaded areas where I can answer questions, but there are a couple places where the shaded areas are missing.Have you previously applied with the C.B.E? "Readonly content cannot be changed No modifications will be accepted." Can I add a shaded area in so I can fill this in, or can I disable the read only part?
I have an old scanner script that uses pamthreshold to create a small greyscale image of a text document. This program does not seem to be available in debian. Can anyone tell me how I can install it, or if there are any better alternatives available?
Is there some kind of universally recognized pragma that one can insert at the beginning of a text document to designate it to be UTF-8 encoded (or any other encoding)? I've seen certain editors insert encoding comments, and one or two compilers that have an encoding pragma. But I was wondering if anyone has tried to establish some kind of universal tag format for text documents.
I have 2 GB of html files and i need to convert all of them at once to text files. Is there any way that I can do it. Converting each of them manually is really a pain and I want to convert all of them with a single command to text files.

Can someone tell me which of the parameters in pdftk is responsible for converting my PDF (which is a bunch of images "staped" together) into a pdf with text that I can ctrl+f? The manual isn't clear enough for me.
I need to convert a very large latex project (made up of many .tex and style files) into .html (or something similarly non-.pdf). Can someone recommend a quality converter program? Preferably, one that is:

I have a number of text files (26 per database x 100+ databases) which need 'correcting' in order to import into postgresql. I think that I have identified all the problem characters and I need to automate the process as much as possible. I have a script to convert the characters and I do them one by one (not effecient but easier to understand).
I have a bunch of text files that I created with mousepad in xfce. I didn't really think I would need to share them, but I guess I have to. Is there anyway I can batch convert these to rtf so they could be viewed on a windows client?
