how can i extract from a pdf file a line of text ?

@ariellOct 09.2008 — #a) do not do it, for it's error-prone.

b) if you want to take the risk, though, use this:

PHP has a function: "bool cpdf_begin_text ( int pdf_document )"

NOTE: int, handle to, NOT the pure file name.

cpdf_begin_text() starts a text section. If it works, you get TRUE. Otherwise FALSE. An created text section must be ended with cpdf_end_text().

e.g... given a section from pdf-text:

[code=php]
 <?php
 cpdf_begin_text($pdftextsection);
 cpdf_set_font($pdf, 16, 'Verdana', 'WinAnsiEncoding');
 cpdf_text($pdftextsection, 100, 50, 'BlaBlaBla');
 cpdf_end_text($pdftextsection)
 ?>
 [/code]

I GUESS, php.net has some documentation on this, it's too much to explain here...

Pan, it is better to start a new thread than drag up this old one from 10-08-2008,.

Please do so.
