Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF

Hi Torsten, i presume the pdf widget in pro is the opensource xpdfReader but don’t know for sure. I did post on how to extract text from PDF using the free xpdfReader and non-pro LC: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35280&p=201036&hilit=Xpdfreader#p201036 I presu

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

I suspect it is for backward compatibility. When I turned over the XPDF external to Livecode, I asked that they maintain it for a couple years. I had expected we'd migrate out apps to the PDF widget by then, but business factors mean we're only now just starting a migration. Th

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Ah, i thought you were referring only to XPDF. Btw. do you have an idea why both, XPDF external and PDF widget, are maintained? Wouldn't it make sense to have only one pdf solution included? Or am i missing something? Regards, Matthias > Am 11.12.2021 um 02:01 schrieb Paul Dupuis

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Yes, I am familiar with the XPDF external (based on Google's PDFium library), having designed it and paid Monte to code it and then turned it over to LiveCode. I was referring to the PDF Widget (also based on Google's PDFium), which should have a comparable property for fetching the

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

There must be an undocumented property for the text of a page - there was a function to return the full text of a page in the External (XPDF) and to get the full text of the PDF file, you just stepped through the pages (1..N) getting and concatenating the page text. Monte? LC 10.0.0

Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Hi Torsten, i think the PDF widget does not support extracting text by code. At least the documentation does not show any information about this. You wrote, that you have a business license. That would mean, that you can use the Pro features of Livecode. There is an external included in the

How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Hi, I have a PDF file with text and pictures, but I just want the text. I can do it manually with Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Copy by viewing the file with Preview on MacOS. I have a business licence and want to use the PDF widget but I cannot find a way to do it. Can someone help me out? Cheers

Re: PDF Viewer widget - how to enable interaction?

PDFium library not finding ‘clickables’ in the PDF documents - or the LC wrapping has a bug... If navigation is under script control the documentation suggests that every ‘clickable’ that works in any PDF viewer would need to be extracted into either the documentBookmarks or
