回复： read text from pdf

[PaulG.]

I finally got this to work when I put the pdfbox bin folder in the project folder. Seems odd or is that normal behavior? It would seem that LV would be smart enough to look in the same bin folder as the dll that the vi is linked to.

Thanks jcarmody,

It's working! I tried seriously with iTextSharp but it was too complex.

Hi, Paul.

I am not an expert on this problem. I wonder whether we should convert PDF to text directly or extract text from PDF files? I am testing with the related PDF processing projects these days. Good luck.

Best regards,

Arron

 but if we just want to extract text from only part of source PDF file, then your PDF to text converting may be not proper.

By the way, attach a link to the same question on PDF text extracting issue. Maybe it will help someone who are looking an easy way to get text from PDF.
