- Possibility of several "levels" of similarity between files. For example: a) exactly the same, b) same name, different size, c) similar name, same size, same date, and so on-city_zen (December 04, 2008, 11:16 PM)
I'd like results to be returned "nested" like this:
1. File name
----------->Location One
----------->Location Two
Etc.
I'd also like to see some sort of colour banding utilized so that differentiating between files is easier.-Darwin (December 04, 2008, 04:59 PM)
I've wound up switching to Scansoft PDF Converter Pro.-Darwin (December 04, 2008, 02:16 PM)

FWIW Serif PagePlus version 11 is advertised @ $29.99 at this link.-cranioscopical (December 04, 2008, 09:09 AM)
its in the value store, the link is above-Grorgy (December 04, 2008, 05:16 AM)
Not sure how easy it is to find their free and cheap site so here it is if you haven't got it,-Grorgy (December 03, 2008, 02:38 PM)
Looks like the free one won't do PDF but version 9 will which is under 10 dollars (or pounds) and version 10 is also very cheap compared to the new one.
I couldn't see any link to their older free offerings from the main Serif page... On the free Serif software page I see SE and version 9, but not version 10. Is that in limbo between low-cost 9 and PagePlus X3, waiting for an even newer version before it gets "remaindered?"does Nitro PDF also convert pdfs that are comprised of scanned images into searchable pdfs? Essentially, this would require the developer to ship Nitro PDF with OCR capabilities... I need a PDF solution for my XP machine-Darwin (November 25, 2008, 11:56 AM)
Able2Extract Professional 6.0 adds scanned (image) PDF conversion capabilities to the Able2Extract 6.0 feature set. For users working with documents that are paper based and need to be scanned or, have already been saved as image PDFs, Able2Extract Professional is the choice.
Not sure if the OP is still interested, but ABC Amber PDF Converter might be worth a look.-Antonimo (December 03, 2008, 02:02 AM)
But if you want an app that provides an easy-to-use GUI for building & saving sets of search-replace operations -- which you can then call from a command-line -- consider BK ReplaceEm.-skas (December 02, 2008, 07:58 AM)
So I went with SED. It's case-sensitive, but that was OK for what I wanted.I could make it an option easily enough.-mouser (December 01, 2008, 10:31 AM)
But the main thing is to know what it's doing.I have used this before and found it more than adequate.

rjbull: Eek, using 16bit dos executables under win32? Why haven't you searched for a replacement tool?-f0dder (December 01, 2008, 04:48 AM)
I can't really take credit for the functionality -- i'm using a 3rd party library -- but actually it does support delays.-mouser (November 28, 2008, 09:03 AM)
With those features, you might get people wanting to use it for passwords/logins. I presume that CHS's database isn't secure enough for that? Not sure I'd need it to be - too used to KeePass and Roboform now, not to mention Linkstash. But it should come in handy for filling in repetitive forms, especially for people who don't have Roboform, or use browsers Roboform doesn't support, like K-Meleon.I uploaded a CHS beta if you want to experiment:
Perhaps you'd been better off using ABBYY FineReader to OCR the documents into word format?-f0dder (November 25, 2008, 06:00 AM)
"It’s a fact that Adobe® PDF is unlike other document formats, in which you can freely copy, paste, and move text and images on a page. Instead, consider a PDF as a snapshot of your original file. Use Adobe® Acrobat® 9 Standard to touch up and enhance the file for readability and distribution, and reserve more substantial revisions for your source application."
, it works very well by comparison to Acrobat 9. Editing still tends to be fiddly and time-consuming, but at least I can get what was wanted done. At the time of writing Foxit are still offering a 10% Thanksgiving promotion, reducing the cost from $99 to $89.Personally I use Typing Assistant.-tinjaw (November 18, 2008, 08:56 PM)
