Tip of the day: The Content inspectors in #DEVONthink 4 are especially useful for #PDFs, as they provide an overview of the document. You get a table of contents and thumbnails of the document’s pages. With #DEVONthink 4, you can also customize a #PDF’s outline. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20250520-devonthink-pdf-content-inspectors

Tip of the day: When doing research and taking notes, it is often helpful to link to specific parts of text in documents, especially #PDFs. #DEVONthink has two special copy and paste commands that make such linking very fast and effective. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20250610-paste-text-with-source-link

Ah, the brave new world where your #PDFs can finally live in witness protection without being "cloud-napped." 🚫☁️ Because clearly, what the internet truly lacked was yet another tool to wrangle those elusive PDF files…locally! 🤦‍♂️ Enjoy your newfound #privacy while you think about how often you actually need this. Spoiler: it's not that often. 📄🔒

🎉🥳 In today's thrilling episode of "Tech Genius," someone on #GitHub created a tool to make #PDFs look like they were scanned, because apparently, the world was desperately lacking in fake nostalgia for fax machines 📠. Who knew that the pinnacle of #innovation would be making digital documents as annoyingly unreadable as possible? 🙄🚀

@tallison ran Tika on my pile of PDFs and now I see the “pdfa:PDFVersion” field and just for the first result file I’m seeing PDF/A results for 193 files out of 10000. I have 17 more sets of results to go through, Im guessing the others will be similar. Fascinating! #pdfs #digipres

Ran pdfcpu -relaxed on my pile of 175K+ #pdfs and there were 1762 files with validation errors here’s a sample. Thanks to @mickylindlar for suggesting pdfcpu, now I just need to make sense of the results. #digipres #digitalpreservation

Just finished the run and nearly 9K #pdfs were ‘Well formed, but not valid’ when using text output and with json there were only 3. @dpc_chat #JHOVE #digipres #digitalpreservation #OpenPreservationFoundation

Released v1.17.0 of The Pdfalyzer, the surprisingly popular tool for analyzing (possibly malicious) PDFs I created after my own unpleasant experience. Now ships with two command line tools for extracting stuff from PDF files:

1. extract_text_from_pdfs() - brute force extract all text from a PDF, including doing an #OCR extraction of any embedded images

2. extract_pdf_pages() - rip a page range from a #PDF and write them to a new one

* Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/pdfalyzer/
* Homebrew: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/pdfalyzer
* Fun thread someone made last week using Pdfalyzer to explain some of how byzantine the PDF format is: https://x.com/VikParuchuri/status/1965773078585344215

I really wish there was a keyboard-driven #PDF viewer like #Zathura, #MuPDF, or #SioYek that let you fill out forms and annotate #PDFs.

That would be da bomb.

@BertrandCaron you post is a good reminder, I need to run #JHOVE on my pile of 175K+ #PDFs, I’ve run veraPDF it would be nice to compare the results.
