I try to read 2 pdf files with pdfreader. The pdf files contains hebrew
characters.
The encoding in one file is identity-h and in the other is ANSI.
When the encoding is identify-h the hebrew characters are displayed in the
console and printed in a txt file correctly.
When the encoding is ANSI the hebrew characters are displayed as "?" .
The Java method used
public static void loadPdfString(){
FileWriter fileWriter = null;
String INPUTFILE =
"c:/Sergio/develop/conv_pdf/payslip.pdf";
//Specifying the file location.
// String INPUTFILE = "c:/Sergio
/develop/conv_pdf/payslip2.PDF"; //Specifying the file location.
try {
File newTextFile = new File(
"C:/Sergio/develop/conv_pdf/payslip_.txt");
fileWriter = new FileWriter(newTextFile);
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(INPUTFILE);
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
String str=PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, 1);
//Extracting the content from a particular page.
//Print to console
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println("------------------------------");
//Print to file
fileWriter.write(str);
fileWriter.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
Can anyone help me?
What is the best method to read hebrew characters?
Thank you.
Sergio
