Convert pdf to html

Post by lorenww »

Hi All,

I have a cms that allows the owners to upload PDF's and they are automatically listed on the website page by their names.

I would like to provide a summary of the PDF similar to what google does for PDF's. Google has also implemented this feature into gmail.

There must be a way to do this with php but I cannot find any info on this.

Does anyone know if it is possible to extract the text out of a PDF?

Thank you and await any replies or suggestions.

Cheers
Loren

Not exacly an answer to your question but it can be done. Also, I don't think PHP can pull it off.
