Text converter

[Lakshman]

Is there a program that will convert PDF or Word files from one Indian language to another? I want to convert telugu text into english or dEvanAgari. Thanks.

I think Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 Language, has facility for conversion. Some techie from Microsoft should confirm this.

[Lakshman]

Maybe I did not state the problem very well.
The text is already in PDF format on a website. I can copy the text but it won't get converted to any other language format with MS Word.

It is the imbeded font problem!
The PDF converter to MS Word works only with plain English texts...

If the font is unicode (it may not be), you could copy to clipboard and use my transliterator (you can paste and then transl(iterate) to english).

It sort of works - but probably not reliably. I didnt plan for this "feature" it sort of came about because of how the transliterator works (I mean I have not spent anytime getting it right)

It is mostly not Unicode!
When I copy it is all greek to me!

[arunk]

Thats what I expected. If it isnt Unicode it wouldnt work at all with the transliterator.

The site I was thinking of is this one:

That looks like scanned - which means each page is stored as an image. You need a OCR software - I am not sure if one exists for telugu.
