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.
