That's nice. PlusTools has had a similar function for years. In PlusTools, go to Tools > C[o]nv[ert] > Recreate paragraphs in currend doc[ument]. How does the Unbreaker tool's results compare to PlusTools' results?

Speaking of extra line and page breaks in OCRed text, a good OCR program will have an option to remove them. For example, ABBYY Finereader does.

Hi Anton,
That’s interesting. Can you tell me how to do it in ABBYY FineReader 12?
Incidentally, the documents in my screenshots were just something I found online and was in the process of aligning.

Michael, all you need to do in Finereader is uncheck two boxes, "Keep page breaks" and "Keep line breaks" in the Options dialogue, Save tab.

Hi Anton,
I'll have to do a little testing. If I do this, will I then perhaps inadvertently remove valid page and line breaks. That is, ones that I would like to keep?

Hi Michael,
I purchased the TransTools Professional Edition ($20 for installing the program on up to three machines) after reading your user feedback here and visiting the TransTools website.

I purchased the TransTools Professional Edition ($20 for installing the program on up to three machines) after reading your user feedback here and visiting the TransTools website. So far I have only tried two or three features and am very happy with this program. I thought I would need to go through the readme files to know how to use the features, but it turns out the onscreen instructions were quite easy to follow. I highly recommend this tool to those who need to tweak the source files for better importing results in their CAT environment, and to those who still work with Trados files and want to see better which segments are new, which are fuzzy, etc.
This is another nice addition after my ApSIC Xbench investment!

| "Valid" breaks | Jul 9, 2014 |
Michael, if I remember correctly, line breaks between paragraphs (as opposed to lines within the same paragraph) will be retained anyway. As to page breaks, either you keep them, or you don't, I don't see how a page break may be "valid" or "invalid".
