If you have to sell it with spam, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be garbage.

Hm. I stand corrected. I could swear it did both ways.

I’ve had some trouble with PDFs that were just images of pages of text (easy way to tell, assuming you’re on linux, is run pdftotext on it and see if you get anything). There’s a utility called pdfsandwich that will use Tesseract to OCR the images and add text to the PDF.

That might help too.

Yeeeah to get nice results you have to do a fair bit of tinkering. Almost never worth it unless PDF is the only thing you can get.

I just checked and tested it, works for me. Is there anything unusual about the PDF?

Calibre should be able to convert from one to the other. Pandoc as well if you prefer CLI things.

If you accept data that’s updated in realtime but not being actively sampled in realtime, this satellite tracker?

I wish I could say I didn’t, but I knew who he was and what sorts of things he said.
