I need to copy some code from one computer to another, but soft copies are forbidden for this particular computer. Standard OCR software does not do well with underscores, tildes, and the double parens that mark a procedure with no arguments. { As in: x(); } I did try using an OCR font in windows, but it did not help any.
Does anyone know of an OCR app that will produce editable text from an PDF? Being able to handle landscape would be a huge bonus. Maybe even 11 x 17 in landscape. That would be really cool.
Thank you for your time

You should give Quick answers[^] a try.

The latest ... Adobe reader version (x if I am correct) comes with an OCR. Just save your pdf file as text.

Foxit PDF reader[^] is awesome -- if you have a PDF, you should be able to c&p from it. Then again, I probably don't understand the details of the issue.

Er .... you're converting a text file to pdf in order to have it read by OCR to convert it to a text file? I'm obviously missing something ... or you're crazy ... one of the two!

Naw, you did not miss anything. I just left out the details.
I work for the government on classified computers. There is a bunch of code that the code itself it not classified, but is on a classified computer. We need to find a way to get it on an unclassified computer. Moving any type of media from a high level of classification to a lower one is strictly forbidden. The only option is to print it. Then we can retype the code in or scan it and extract the data via OCR.

PDF Xchange Viewer has OCR functionality built in

Tried PDFXchange, the text was wretched, formatting was not even close. Far worse trying to correct the errors than to just type in from a print out.

Really cool! 
In Denmark we call them "Storm P" machines after the Danish inventor, writer, artist and cartoonist Robert Storm Petersen[^]. You, my dear Jörgen will most certainly know him for THIS[^] drawing!

It's been more popular in Sweden than it has EVER been i Denmark. Don't know why... Just the fact that almost ALL Swedes, regardless of age, know about it. That's most certainly not the case in Denmark.
Most Danes remember THIS ONE[^] better!

Archaeologists digging in a pyramid in Egypt have found a mummy covered in chocolate and hazelnuts.
They believe it to be Pharaoh Rocher.
I'll get my coat...

I'm Egyptian and telling you, it's correct i have seen it. 
It's a FERRERO ROCHER

And how did the ancient egyptians get chocolate? Next you will be telling us that they burried the poor man with a large supply of tomatoes, corn and potatoes which come almost from the same place as the chocolate.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

A lot (not only three). Here is the logic:
If (Egyptian)
{build a pyramid;}

I can't say very much about that. My ancestors had different hobbies. The romans built a wall to keep them from knocking on their doors with axes and torches in their hands.
