Re: [Podofo-users] Example of text removal or image extraction

2019-11-27 Thread Pietro Paolini

Hi,

I have done something of that sort where I did filter out a few text 
instructions from the stream, this can be done in this manner.


Suggestion to improve the following are more than welcome, particularly 
the fact that I have to append spaces to strings.



  char * buffer = new char[ pageStreamLength * N ];// This is bad
  PdfOutputDevice pdfOutputDevice( buffer, pageStreamLength * N );


  while( tokenizer.ReadNext( t, keyword, variant ) )
  {
bool skip = false;

// Stack parameters up
if ( t != ePdfContentsType_Keyword )
{
  stack.push( variant );
  parameters++;
  continue;
}

// Process the operators if we're interested on it
string k(keyword);

// Handle operators
if( k == ... ){
skip = true;
}
[..]
//

// Filter it out
if( skip )
{
while( ... ) stack.pop();
continue;
}

list< PdfVariant > l; //TODO: copy party
while( parameters > 0 )
{
  l.push_front( stack.top() );
  stack.pop();
  parameters--;
}

// Write operands
for_each( l.begin(),
 l.end(),
 [ & ]( const PdfVariant & variant  )
 {
  variant.Write( , ePdfWriteMode_Clean);
  pdfOutputDevice.Write( " ", 1 );
 } );

// Write operator
k += " ";
pdfOutputDevice.Write( k.c_str(), k.size() );
  }

Hi

I think this is the way to go, rather than copying images over.

Removing text could be done by either;

1. Replace chars in text draw commands with spaces. I guess it would be the 
simplest and fastest approach if possible.
2. Remove text draw commands (basically anything between and including BT and 
ET). Fonts can be left, since PDF will just be converted into TIFF, so it must 
just be readable. Size does not matter since it will exist for a fraction of a 
second in memory.

I have not found any examples of how to replace or edit the contents stream. I 
can iterate through it using the tokenizer, but where to go from there?

Thanks for more pointers 

Hi,
it would be much harder, but maybe you can change the podofotxtextract tool and 
instead of extracting only the text (see the TextExtractor::ExtractText there), 
remove the text from the corresponding content streams, preserving all but the 
text-related things. You might be able to remove also any font objects, because 
they can mean significant part of the PDF file. Removing such objects, with all 
its references in the document, can be tricky. The same editing of the content 
streams.

[Podofo-users] String bounding box

2019-11-19 Thread Pietro Paolini

Hi all,

I'd like to compute the bounding box of a given string part of a text 
drawing instruction, such as TJ or similar. I've started writing a draft 
for it but I've stopped halfway through as I am unsure if PoDoFo 
implements such a thing off the shelf. Does it?


While writing a very rudimentary implementation of the "Text Space 
Details" computation as outlined in the PDF Reference two questions came 
to my mind:


1. I would need to know the horizontal displacement of a glyph and I am 
using GetGlyphWidth(), if that is correct what about the vertical 
displacement?
2. What is the correct way to determine, given the PdfString, the 
GlyphId(s) contained within it ?


Thanks,
Pietro.

Hi zyx,

I think I am one commit behind the server's trunk.

I can't tell of any bug as the mechanics are not clear to me well enough 
to understand how I am supposed to do what I want to do. I will try the 
suggestion Clayton gave me (and thanks A LOT for that) and report back 
if I found any issue.


It will take some time though as I am juggling up with many things, 
please let me know if there any specific testing I'd like to carry out, 
many I can be helpful in that way.

[Podofo-users] PoDoFo fonts cmaps "override"

2019-11-03 Thread Pietro Paolini

Hi everybody,

From time to time I come across PDFs whose fonts are broken and that I 
cannot paste from. I think this has to do with their cmaps and I am 
wondering if there is an example somewhere (if this is possible at all) 
where a document's font is amended, that is, its cmap is altered and its 
changes saved so that subsequent programs opening the document won't be 
affected by the problem.


Sometimes it can be quite bizarre as only a handful of characters are 
not correctly mapped into unicode.


In PoDoFo terminology it seems that I'd need to create my own 
PdfEncoding subclass and assign it to a font somehow, but I haven't 
found any example.


Is this possible at all ?


Thanks,
Pietro

Hello,

I was looking at your /.pdf/ search tool (library) that allows data

My intention is to implement your library (APIs) in /C++/, while my 
requirement is following: to */search/count keyword/s from a multiple 
.pdf files at the same time as well as counting all words/* (also, I’d 
like to ask whether it’s possible to make an exception for prepositions, 
conjunctions in a way that they are not part of the final word count. I 
suppose this function won’t be available directly in any APIs, so my 
question would be - whether is it possible to extend the APIs or write 
my own function/method that would be used to eliminate particular 
words/sentences or extend PoDoFo APIs functionality in any way)?


In case it's possible to use your library for such operations that are 
mentioned above. Could you, please, provide me with a slight code 
example of /C++/ implementation (keyword search and its count) just to 
help me get a better understanding of your library (APIs) principles of 
usage.


I am not a maintainer and I haven't used this library too extensively, 
however I've found the folder tools/ a very good place to start looking.


It seems like that tools/podofotxtextract folder could be a good 
starting place for you.





/Just to check/: I suppose that the library is fully compatible with 
Windows 10 and that it should be fully supported (using APIs and such) 
in/ C++/ as it was written in /C++/ (I’ve read that on your website, but 
I just want to make sure that I haven’t missed anything)?


Also, is your SW freeware even for a commercial use?

Have a nice day.

Thank You!

[Podofo-users] GetFont()

2019-10-21 Thread Pietro Paolini

Hi all,

before digging into the source code I'd prefer to have a steer from 
somebody who has more experience than me with the library.


I have a small document which uses in its stream a font named '/F2' but 
such font can't be looked up by the attached  code, which simply 
compiles a main which takes two parameters: doc file and font name.

./main test.pdf F1

It won't be able to look the font up even if it exists as the line

 PdfFont * font = document.GetFont( pdfObject );

Return a pointer to NULL.

I inspected the PDF with i7j and I can find the font under the page
'/Resources' -> '/Font' dictionary therefore it is there indeed, am I 
using the library incorrectly or doing anything silly ?


If the patch fixes the problem I am more than happy to test it.I had 
been unable to send the pdf as an attachment, it is fairly small (300 
KB) but the moderation system won't let it through nonetheless.




Thanks,
Pietro.

Re: [Podofo-users] PoDoFo browser

2019-09-09 Thread Pietro Paolini

Hi Matthew,

Thanks a lot for that. If it is long un-maintained I do better not 
trying to spend too much time on it, it isn't essential for me to get it 
to work and I'd overwhelm you with questions. However if that can help 
you in maintaining the project flag it up and I will spend some time on it.


I am very keen in getting the "main" lib to do what and I am getting 
stuck, or "lost in a glass of water" as we use to say in Italy. What I 
want to achieve is reasonably simple: I want to list all XObjects and 
their subtype for a given page.


I am banging my head here (sorry about the formatting, I've been 
wrestling with Thunderbird to get it right):


.. for all pages ..
PoDoFo::PdfPage *page = document.GetPage(i);
PoDoFo::PdfObject
   *xobject = page->GetResources()
  ->GetDictionary().GetKey(PoDoFo::PdfName("XObject"));
if (xobject == NULL)
 continue;
auto it = xobject->GetDictionary().begin();
while (it != xobject->GetDictionary().end()) {
 std::cout << it->first.GetName() << ","
 << it->second->Reference().ObjectNumber() << " "
 << it->second->Reference().GenerationNumber()
 << std::endl;
 std::cout <<
  document.GetObjects()
  ->GetObject( 
it->second->Reference())->GetDataTypeString() CRASH!

 << std::endl;
 ++it;
   }


It crashes all the time as the object cannot be loaded for some reason, 
which became obvious when I checked the ObjectNumber()/GenerationNumber 
pair which seems to be 0,0 all the time.


What the correct approach to do what I want with PoDoFo ?

Thanks again,
Pietro

Hi Matthew,

I resorted to the shared-library solution as it worked well for me, at 
least it builds. I haven't tried to run anything as yet.


For the sake of my personal understanding

On 13/08/2019 13:40, Matthew Brincke wrote:

Then podofo was automatically configured with JPEG support and you'll need
to link to the libjpeg it found in your project too (when using a static
libpodofo build). When using a shared library build and not doing make install,
using LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on GNU/Linux) or changing the dynamic linker config
would be required to have your program find the libpodofo shared library. For
podofo-built programs this is required only when moving the library to a
non-standard location, or accessing it through a different non-standard path
(like in a sandbox) because the build process embeds a run-path in them.



This is the CMakeLists.txt for my microscopic project:

ADD_EXECUTABLE(main main.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(main ${PODOFO_INSTALL_TOP}/lib/libpodofo.a)


I thought this would do the work - do I need to manually specify all the 
dependent libraries, something along the line of


TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(main /path/to/libjgeg{libtiff..}

it's been a while since I programmed in C/C++ so forgive me some slip 
ups. I am also totally new to CMAKE.

Hi Matthew,

I spoke too early and I have another question if you don't mind me 
hammering.


I've written a very simple program to check the PdfTokenizer however it 
fails to compile as some external dependencies seem to be missing.


int main(int argn, char **argv) {
[...]
PoDoFo::PdfMemDocument doc (filename.c_str());
for (int i = 1; doc.GetPageCount(); i++) {
PoDoFo::EPdfContentsType t;
const char * text;
PoDoFo::PdfVariant variant;
bool readToken;

PoDoFo::PdfContentsTokenizer tokenizer( doc.GetPage(i));

while ( ( readToken = tokenizer.ReadNext(t, text, variant) ) ) {
 [..]
}
}

I get many erros, among them:

[..]/lib/libpodofo.a(PdfFiltersPrivate.cpp.o): In function 
`PoDoFo::PdfDCTFilter::EndDecodeImpl()':
PdfFiltersPrivate.cpp:(.text+0x2146): undefined reference to 
`jpeg_read_header'

I think they are all coming from the same root problem, I do have the 
libjpeg-dev (Debian system) installed locally though and I wonder what 
the problem may be.


This is the CMakeLists.txt for my microscopic project:

the tools directory's sub-directories there (podofopdfinfo could be a 
good start).


Thanks,
Pietro.



I hope this helps.

Best regards, Matthew

[Podofo-users] Podofo rendering

2019-08-12 Thread Pietro Paolini

Hi all,

I've stumbled upon this library only a few days ago and I noticed that 
the downloadable version from


http://sourceforge.net/projects/podofo/files/podofo/0.9.6/podofo-0.9.6.tar.gz/download

Does not compile, at least on my system, while what I get right off 
trunk does compile.


I am exploring the possibility of using the library to inspect PDFs, 
making some analysis on them and saving the PDF result of some 
processing. A good example could be hidden text.


It seems to be able to parse the input PDF and to "translate" in into an 
a "PdfVecObjects" but I have not found - within the time I had available 
for it, I should mention - a way to render the PDFs on screen.


Is there an example somewhere for it ?

Thanks,
Pietro.
