Adobe Reader PDF Text COPY : kanji + furigana copied

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

The image below is of a PDF open in the latest Adobe Reader ; as you see, the text copy selection also grabs the furigana, producing slightly problematic results as plain text.

Web page copies tend to place the furigana in-line, which is even worse!

A typical result from Adobe Reader follows:

夜の　

ちやう

帳にささめき尽きし星の今を　

げかい

下界　の人の鬢のほつれ

よ

Is the last item furigana or not?

Compare my Curl markup example in this blog post. The MIT Curl browser plugin is available at the Tokyo SCSK site.

Curl markup for non-selectable furigana in plain text copy

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

The image below shows a poem selected with a mouse swipe WITHOUT the furigana text being selected.

Because Curl poetry markup uses macros, this can be set by a user to copy furigana INSTEAD of the kanji !

The size of the furigana and its visibility can be user options.

Curl Unicode parse for kanji

This small desktop utility displays a kanji given a Unicode utf-16 hex value.

The source is a text file that is easy to edit.

The utility is light enough to add to a linux run in RAM off the SDD or an SD card of a netbook.

Given a Unicode value in a paper source, I often want to quickly get a clipboard copy of that kanji into an e-text without opening a browser or an e-dict.
