RE: PDF to Text

Hi

 

A quick thank you to Greg and Leo for their suggestions.

In the end we found that calling the "pdftotext" utility (available for most
installations - Poppler Utilities) worked perfectly for us - and may help
others looking to do the same thing.

Hi

 

Does anyone have any advise on converting a PDF to text, please (the data I
want to read is tabular)?

I have used PDF::API2 to create PDFs before but it does not seem to be able
to read/parse them. I have also tried CAM::PDF but cannot get the examples
on the CPAN page to work without erroring.

 

Thanks...

 

Phil Brewer
