Does not work because it is not just straight text, there are headings with text floating around it. Also the funny thing is that I first scanned it. But it gave several problems.

Taking pictures is faster and gives better results. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
