pdf2captions

Outputs a list of captions from a target pdf, done for UIST 2015 accessibility options.

This was made for UIST/CHI templates and might work with others however there are very strict (perhaps lame) assumptions:

1. a caption starts with "Figure" followed by whitespace and a number (digits) and a ":" and some text.

2. The caption ends IMPERATIVELY on a period ("."). If not, it will continue until a period is found.

how to run

./run.sh pdfname.pdf It will output a file called pdfname.pdf_captions.txt with all your captions.

how to install

Please install pdfminer first. (for instance: easy_install pdfminer)
