Hi Adam,
Sorry for going a bit off-topic, but does anyone here know of good tools for doing a word count directly on existing PDFs?
what about pdftotext from xpdf?: /opt/xpdf/current/bin/pdftotext lettrine.pdf - | wc -w 1672 It's not that accurate, but perhaps it is sufficient? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
