I am trying to make a program that you can select a .pdf file and it will open it in Adobe Reader 9 and use the "Save as Text..." feature. I have seen VIs that can open .pdf files, but none that can save them as text files. Does anyone know how to do this?
I am not familiar with the active x calls that are associated with Acrobat, but you can use keyboard keys to save as text. Have a look at this example that uses Labview to control a media player. This can also be applied to Acrobat.
I am familiar with the ActiveX controls, but I cannot get the structure set up correctly in order to use the Perform Menu Task method. My guess is that is where the Save as Text... process would be under.
