OCR software for numeric (binary) data

If you have the pro version of Acrobat it does this quite well from the PDF but be sure to select the ClearScan option - its remarkably good compared to traditional OCR methods. ++++++++++ Kevin Parker Advanced Imaging e: webmaster at advancedimaging.com.au w: www.advancedimaging.com.au m: 0418 815 527 ++++++++++ http://au.linkedin.com/in/krparker -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Camiel Vanderhoeven Sent: Wednesday, 18 January 2012 00:51 To: cctech at classiccmp.org Subject: OCR software for numeric (binary) data Hi Everyone, I have a bunch of PDF files that contain the microcode listings for an IBM 7201-02 CE (enhanced system/360 model 65), like this one: http://ibm360-console.wikispaces.com/file/view/QZ001.pdf. I need their contents for the emulator that drives my '65 control panel. Unfortunately, the OCR software I have tries to recognize English words, and makes gibberish out of them. I'm only interested in the 1's and 0's, so it would be wonderful if there was OCR software that you can tell only to look for 0's and 1's (or have some bias towards recognizing characters as a 1 or 0. Is anyone here aware of such software, or can anyone recommend a program that might do a good job with these? I've been copying sections by hand, but that gets very tedious when there's 2,816 lines of data, each having 100 0's and 1's... Cheers, Camiel
