Because Preview isn't properly scriptable and you can't "Select All"
or "Copy". As Richard said, the answer is with Automator.
If you open Automator, se
Since this seems to be Mac only, why not "do as Applescript" the select

Many of the laws we as citizens of the US are required to follow are not

Hi,
OT Tip: Go to the source of the data, the election board. Tell them you
want the raw data made available PLUS the PDF.
That is not an unreasonable request. Open Government advocates / folks
would support that, IMHO.

box the line
put clipboardData["Text"] into fld "INCOMING"
If you use simply "paste" you get (probably unwanted) styles with your text.
(If you have a lot of files: Preview is scriptable.)

CSS is a wonderful solution.
Being prone to idealism,
Its ugly but, could you use pdf.js to extract the text in a browser widget
showing the pdf? http://git.macropus.org/2011/11/pdftotext/example/
Not sure what else is in pdf.js but it looks interesting.

I was trying an export as spreadsheet from Acrobat Pro, but that didn’t work.
Doing a Save as Text from Acrobat Reader was more successful, but the columns
come out in a different order, and some columns get combined into a single
string.

Using the "pdftotext" component of Xpdf you can use a shell command to
extract the text from a pdf and place it into for example a text file
which you can then parse
something like..
___
put "C:\pdftotext" & " -layou
Doesn’t that just let you show PDFs? Would it help to parse the contents?
I’m trying another approach, will report back soon.
