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.
