programming help?

[silverfox9001]

would anybody be able to help me make an ocr program? (a program that converts pdf and image files to text) or supply the code and such for one. I'm not really bothered what programming language it's in, I'm just in desperate need for one so that I can add to it for a school project.
Thanks.

It is certainly possible and can be done on a number of languages. although I dont know how the PDF format works exactly so you I'll have to take a crack and open one of my PDFs in nano (Terminal based text editor)

I assume all PDFs are different as some are just images and some are actually text that can be copied and pasted.

Mind if I ask why you would like to convert the format?
