+#Splitting files

+#Splitting PDF files with pdftk was an interesting experience. The burst option breaks a PDF into #multiple files -- one file for each page:
+#
+# To test the conversion try these commands:  (I have better luck with TextBridge Conversions)
+# convert -monochrome -density 300 pg_0001.pdf pg001.tif
+# tesseract pg001.tif pg001 -psm 6
+# OR Use Textbridge to convert tif files to TXT as spreadsheet or table
+#
+#
+PAGES=24		# set to the number of PDF pages to process
+SOURCE=MOSS22.pdf	# set to the file name of the multipage PDF
+#OUTPUT=moss22.txt	# creates the final "output file"
+RESOLUTION=400		# set to the resolution the scanner used (the higher, the better)
+#
+touch $OUTPUT
+for i in `seq 1 $PAGES`; do
+    convert -monochrome -density $RESOLUTION $SOURCE\[$(($i - 1 ))\] page$i.tif
+#    tesseract page$i.tif page$i -psm 6
+#    cat $OUTPUT page$i.txt > temp.txt
+#    rm $OUTPUT
+#    rm page$i.tif
+#    rm page$i.txt
+#    mv temp.txt $OUTPUT
