Since I'm batch-processing, I don't have the luxury of opening each
document and trying to select some text from Acrobat to test. I
need an automated method of pre-validating the PDF so it doesn't
cause Capture to hang.
Thus my question: Does anyone have a snippet that "peeks" at a PDF's
contents and checks to see if it's PDF+Text (of some kind)? Since I
don't have a standard "search string" to check for, I guess I'd be
content just checking if ANY text is readable/exists in the PDF or
if the PDF is "Image Only".
There is nothing built into iText to do this, though you
could certainly use the low level features to write something
(assuming some understanding of how text works in PDF).
OR look at other solutions - be it open source tools like
PdfBox or commercial solutions such PDFspy.
