Extract embedded xml from PDF/A-3b (also creation)

Hello there,
in the context of a research project, we are currently trying to extract embedded xml from a PDF/A-3b document via code.
The project deals with establishing a new invoicing standard (Zugferd: ferd-net.de, only german). Invoices are expressed via xml, which is embedded in PDF/A.
What we are trying to archive is extraction of the xml via java code. For testing purposes, we are currently using an third party skd to extract the invoice-xml, by calling a .EXE file and then picking up the results in java.
I currently have only one valid example file that can be processed via this sdk. To get more data, i used the test version of acrobat pro to alter the embedded xml file. To be more specific, i deleted the embedded file, added a new xml file, and used preflight to make the PDF conform to /A-3b. Although the file seems to have the same properties as the original, it can no more be processed via the extraction sdk. Since messing around with acrobat does not seem to get me anywhere, i am now looking into extracting data from the pdf my self.
Is there any present implementation/library/solution for extracting data in a java context? The few third party tools i found are all based of a .net/windows native environment. I have heard rumors about Adobe giving out tools to extract embedded data from PDF/A?
How is it the other way around? Is it possible to embedd xml into a PDF via Java? Given there allready is PDF file which we can attach to.
I really appreciate reading and thanks for any help or input!
Greetings,
Florian

Hi Florian,
I would look for general purpose PDF libraries that can open a PDF and access data objects in it.
All in all it is not too difficult to get to the embedded XML, once you have a library that can access and read data structures/data objects inside a PDF file. Some understanding of the inner workings of PDF data structures will help you get the job done (e.g. read the section about embedded files in the PDF standard / ISO 32000-1, as well as the chapter about PDF syntax).

If possible can you kindly send some code snipplet

LiveCycle is a range of products, designed (almost all) to run on

Extracting Linked images from PDF

Good afternoon,
I have a PDF which I created in illustrator but unfortunately I had a problem with with my computer which meant that the recovered files were corrupted. I found a PDF on disc which opens in Acrobat just fine but when I open it in illustrator it asks for the linked images which of course I do not have.
The linked images must be in the PDF as they show up ok.
Is there a way of extracting the images from the PDF so that I can do a repair in illustrator?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you,
Kirk

If you have photoshop, open that pdf from it. File/open, then chose images...
Another option, if you have Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced/Document procesing/Export images

Auto-extracting URL LINKS from webpage?

is there a way to extract all the linked url's from a webpage?
i am trying to put together some lists and would like to gather these up and then insert them into a numbers spreadsheet. in some cases there are 30 to 50 of these listed on the left hand side of a webpage and right now I imagine clicking on a link, copying the url from the browser, inserting into numbers, clicking back, clicking on the next link etc.
is there a way to save some steps by exporting these to a text document and then copying and pasting from there?
thanks for any help.

You create the new bookmark with the javascript replacing the original URL from any old bookmark you have and no longer need, or just create a new bookmark for any thing at all specifically for your links script. Then once you are at a page where you want the links displayed, you just select your new links bookmark. Your page will stay open, but a new window will open as well, with all the links listed. You might want to change the size of the window, the width=400 and height=200 result in a pretty small window. Anyway, I put the Links javascript bookmarklet in my Bookmarks menu, so while I am here on this page I just go to the Bookmarks menu, slide down and select Links, and a new window opens with all the links on this page listed.
Francine
PS--It would be more impressive if I had written that script, but I didn't. I found it years ago and saved it with a batch of bookmarklets that do other useful things, such as suppressing animated gifs. I just checked, and a particularly useful collection, Jesse's Bookmarklets, still exists:

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
Thanks

How to extract the image from pdf file

     Hai friends........
         Is it possible to extract the images in a page from pdf file.
         If so. please share with me.......
    Thanks in advance,
    abu

In later versions of Acrobat you can select an Image with the Select tool, then right-hand click for Save options.
------------->
It helps if you quote your exact version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader - choose [Help, About...] to find this.
Also useful: Version numbers of other software (e.g. Word) if relevant. Age of computer and amount of memory (RAM) available (r/h cllcking on 'My Computer' and choosing Properties gives you this, plus processor speed).

Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer

Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Phil

Designer-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.

How to extract word coordinates from PDF using vc++6.0

In sdk,i just know how to get coordinate from pdf using javascript,and it will be completed use vb.but i dont know how to get the coordinate througt vc++6.0.anyone can help me?
thank you advance!

PDEWordFinder is the usual method for getting words and co-ordinates.
PDFEdit is not usually used, it is not suitable for getting text.
It is very hard work to make the two worlds work together (e.g. to
edit text you find).

Extracting Zoomed in views from PDFs to create new ones.

I recently purchased Acrobat for use with my small business. We wanted an easy way to go from blueprints in a large PDF to blown up shots of portions of certain pages (each blown up shot being its own page) in a new PDF. I really feel like there is an easy way to do this in Acrobat X Pro but the only way that I have figured out how to do this, is it copy a section from the PDF using the selection tool into MS Paint and saving this as a jpeg and combining all the jpegs into a long PDF. Even this doesn't always work, as sometimes Acrobat will not give me the option to copy, only copy with formatting (I have changed the general option to tell the select tool to use images before text).
This is extremely clunky and overly time consuming. Is there a faster way to do this, or is should I look into writing a macro to do it?
Thank you for your help!

Sometimes, Acrobat only gives me the option to "Copy with Formatting" which means it does not recognize the selection as an image. The document has no security, and only being able to use the snapshot tool renders terrible quality when blown up. The only way I have discovered around this is to zoom way in on the document to make the snapshot get better quality before sizing that down to a normal page. This is terribly inefficient and a huge time sink when I have to do this 400+ times each month. Any ideas, alternative ways, or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your effort!

How to Extract Text coordinates from PDF

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to get coordinates in pdf document using VB or .NET, suppose if some text is written in pdf document then how can i get coordinates of that text. Its very Urgent.
Thanks in Advance.

I am trying to use the getPageNthWordQuads information to determine if a word on the page is within a region that I am interested in.
I have a limited knowledge of javascript and have been looking up text manipulation functions and array manipulation functions in an attempt to figure out how to separate the values that are returned from the Quads routine. The Adobe documentation indicates that the Quads function returns an array, but when I try to access one of the values in the array, it gives me the entire contents of the array as though it is a string. If I use the .length function to try to determine the length of it, it tells me it is length of 1! I obviously am mis-handling this reference, but I have yet to find any specific examples that work with the quads array the way I am trying to work with it....
Here is my code...I am running it against an open file in batch processing mode(maybe this has something to do with it)...
var sourceDoc = this
var tx1=492.5;
var ty1=761.5;
var tx4=563;
var ty4=726.2;
try {
for (var j = 0; j < (this.numPages); j=j+2){
var cnt=0;
var rcvrnum="";
cnt = sourceDoc.getPageNumWords(j);
if (j == 0) {
try {for (var i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
var quads = sourceDoc.getPageNthWordQuads(j,i);
var x1 = quads[0];
console.println("Page(" + j + "),Word(" + i + ") = " + sourceDoc.getPageNthWord({nPage: j, nWord: i}));
console.println("Quads length is " + quads.length);
console.println("X1 = " + x1);
if ( x1 >= tx1 & x1 <= tx4 & y1 >= ty4 & y1 <= ty1 ) {
console.println("Q1 is good");
console.println("Page(" + j + "),Word(" + i + ") = " + sourceDoc.getPageNthWord({nPage: j, nWord: i}));
} catch (e) { console.println("Aborted: " + e) };
} catch (f) { console.println("Aborted: " + f) };
I have tried several variations of the code above to try to extract my values so that I can compare them, but to no avail. The above code outputs to the console the following...
Page(0),Word(0) = OTTO
Quads length is 1
X1 = 19.350006103515625,782.15087890625,126.51744079589844,782.15087890625,19.350006103515625, 721.5038452148438,126.51744079589844,721.5038452148438
Page(0),Word(1) =
Quads length is 1
X1 = 125.17047119140625,782.15087890625,153.91525268554688,782.15087890625,125.17047119140625, 721.5038452148438,153.91525268554688,721.5038452148438
and so on...
x1 becomes the entire output from the array and yet I can not perform a simple split function on x1. If I try to split X1 into an array by splitting on the comma, I get the following error.
Aborted: TypeError: x1.split is not a function
Am I supposed to import some libraries or something?
Thanks for any help....
