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 Dictionary does not list a property for the page text.

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,
Torsten
