how to read existing pdf file

Post by be2k »

hi
I need to read existing pdf file - read its content and save it to variable. I didn't find suitable function in PDFlib, i've searched the net and all i've found was how to create pdf file, not how to read it.
Can somebody help?

hi,

do you want to import the pdf or do you just want to get text out of it?

if you want to import the pdf you need the PDI lib of PDFLib

there you find the function PDF_open_pdi()
