Just pass the pdf file into an OCR.

I am tying to convert a presentation file, this won’t work

collective action problem is not a joke Jim, billions suffer every year

hey, no need to fuss about it ig

I mean, you have done enough

meanwhile, it didn’t work for me on android, I did read the reddit post you are referring to, but it doesn’t work for me. Again, thank you!

I have created another post, let’s hope there is a better way to download view on drive files. have a good day you!

you know I had the exact same question, this did work for me but I wanted the text in the pdf to conserved, not sure if there is any other option than this. Anyway, gonna create another post quoting this post.

Who are you, why are you so wise in the ways of science?

Haha, I actually knew about the script but it’s somewhat not clear and you get images instead of text, which is good, but I wish I could download it with text so I can search math topics I want to study in the search bar and get it.

Unfortunately, JDownloader2 (which I installed after reading your comment) didn’t work for me(image) You reckon I should create a post anyway?

Does anyone think this number can be more than what’s being reported? If I am not wrong, some Linux users are very privacy concerned and probably might not like to scream to the world that they are using Linux, it can’t be 1% or anything like that, but I reckon it’s greater than 0.1% of desktop users

thank you very much! I actually discovered that these pdfs are uploaded through google drive and set to view only, so Imma try to break that, I can take screenshots now. I don’t need this anymore, but I am gonna try it anyway. Thank you again!

I wanted to read the article but Goddamn it!

I love mastadon, I hope threads burns down to the ground. I am not a big fan of THE ZUCKMAN

I had tried android emulators before, but they were terrible. Especially anbox and since I am using MX Linux, I can’t install Anbox anyway. Do you have an emulator in mind for Linux which you know just works?

I don’t believe what you’re asking for exists, but I hope we can find a solution for you nonetheless!

Thank you for your willingness to help. btw, how do I install shizuka (the sentence is quite funny to me :')

Maybe try a virtual machine with an Android image and see what you can do from there instead. You can run pure Android disc images (.iso) from virtual machine emulator software. This way, you can edit and even root the Android installation all from the comfort and safety of your virtual machine and it can be easily deleted at any time. This will help you bake in anti-DRM or screen protection, or at least use root to disable the protection itself. I know there is a Magisk module already available for taking screenshots in protected apps.

This is better I think, I waste a lot of time on my laptop, I heard there is a bootable android emulator, maybe I can just download and burn it onto my pendrive and try something there. Meanwhile, I will take it as a second option, how can I use shizuka, an article would be greatly helpful.

Unfortunately I don’t think this would be a great idea. I mean, I don’t want to root that old thing, it hardly works as it is :"(

I wanted a pure Linux solution if possible. Anyways, I think this is a good advice because when I buy a new phone, I will do this.
