Zucchetto Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hello, I am trying to use PHP to look at a PDF and spit out all of the field names from the PDF to the PHP page. Is this possible? If so could you point me in the direction of how to do it. Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/41826-use-php-to-extract-pdf-fields/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 PDFLib has functions that enable you to open PDF files and import them into other PDF files. It might have functions to read the text in a PDF file as well, although I'm not sure. The downside to PDFLib is if it does support that capability, it'll probably be in the licensed version which is ~$2000.

Zucchetto Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hey Roopurt, PDFLIB is an option that I might have to use, I have been reading and trying their demos and what not. I have had trouble finding anything with what I am trying to accomplish though. Thanks.

roopurt18 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I can vouch for PDFLib's speed when creating PDFs. We use it to create catalogs and it creates 1200 page catalogs with pictures and all sorts of crap in about 15 seconds.

Zucchetto Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks Roopurt, That information will help me make a decision later. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/41826-use-php-to-extract-pdf-fields/#findComment-202859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
