DESCRIPTION:
This is a class to convert PDF files into ASCII text or so called PDF text extraction.
It will ignore anything that is not addressed as text within the PDF and any layout.
Currently supported filters are: ASCIIHexDecode, ASCII85Decode, FlateDecode
PURPOSE(S):
Most likely for people that want their PDF to be searchable.
SYNTAX:
include('class.pdf2text.php');
$a = new PDF2Text();
$a->setFilename('test.pdf');
$a->decodePDF();
echo $a->output();
ALTERNATIVES:
Other excellent options to search within a PDF:
- Apache PDFbox (https://pdfbox.apache.org/). An open source Java solution
- pdflib TET (https://www.pdflib.com/products/tet/)
- Online converter: https://snowtide.com/PDFTextStream
