Read contents inside pdf file programmatically in SharePoint

I have a SharePoint document library, My Requirement is when user add PDF file on the document library the event receiver fire and read contents inside
pdf file programmatically. After the start workflow according to the result of event receiver.

If your question is about handling events in apps for SharePoint, see these links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220051%28v=office.15%29.aspx
If what you need is a way to extract text from the PDF inside the event handler, see this example that uses leadtools.
http://support.leadtools.com/CS/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=43894
You should use PDF text extractor in your Event Handler code -
You can use iTextSharp for reading content

Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it?

Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it to xls file without the need for much changes or manual work?

Acrobat X (Standard and Pro) will save tabular data to XLS or XLSX format, provided it can recognize the table as being a table. If the PDF has missing or incorrect structure tags, Acrobat will try to guess the table layout by the position of text and lines on the page - this works well for basic formatting but if the table has complex styling, spanned cells etc. it can lead to problems.
Acrobat X will even attempt to export a table within a scanned document, by applying OCR during the export stage - though again this relies on the table being visually identified.
See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/pdf-to-word-excel-converter.html and this article on how to extract one table from a larger document.

Embedding indexes inside PDF file

Hi,
My requirement is to convert PDF files (Which have text content) to pdf files with embedded indexes to accelerate search operation. I want do the conversion in batch process that it will be configured to run according to a given schedule.
1- Which product allow me to achieve that ?
2- Can i do it programatically in my own code by using APIs from Adobe ? If yes where i can find those APIs ?
NB: Please, can someone tell me how to talk to an expert fro Adobe. I want know if Adobe tools offer a solution to this problem or not.
Best Regards.

Dynamic text fields do support some HTML formatting, but
it's important
to understand that at this time, the supported tags comprise
only a very
small subset of the full HTML specification. (Search the Help
panel for
"supported HTML tags," and you'll see which ones they are.)
As such, Flash
Player simply doesn't load HTML files.
What Flash Player does load is XML, so if your documents are
formatted
as XHTML (that is, technically XML), you'll have the
beginnings of something
you can use. Flash won't necessarily be able to display
elements it doesn't
understand (e.g. tables), but because the document is XML,
you'll be able to
parse those tags and extract information from them, using
what Flash *is*
capable of displaying.
I wrote a series at Community MX not long ago that makes
some
exploration into what you're after.

Need to create a pdf file programmatically

Hi friends,
I am able to read contents of a pdf file in KM repository programmatically. Now I am trying to create a pdf file programmatically. I ve tried the following solutions:
1) pdfwriter. Here i endup with giving the path for the file.I ve tried giving RID and URL of the document. but in vein.
2) createresource. Here i am able to create a txt file. but couldnt find how to create pdf.
Awaiting replies specific to the questions. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
In my view,the solution for this is to create a pdf file in C or any drive of the sever temporarily and get the FileInputstream from that temporary file and with the file stream upload pdf file in to KM repository and finally delete the temporary file u have created.
Follow the code given,it will be more clear
//Creating PDF
Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(0,0,2382,3369);
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("D:\PDFfromJava.pdf"));
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("Hi, this is demo PDF file from JAVA!"));
catch(DocumentException de) {
response.write("Document Exception");
}catch(IOException ioe) {
response.write("IO Exception");
ResourceContext rContext=null;
ICollection aCollection=null;
IResource aResource=null;
InputStream myIS=null;
IUser loggedOnUser = (IUser) request.getUser().getUser(); if (loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
rContext = new ResourceContext(loggedOnUser);
RID aRid = RID.getRID("/documents"); // remember that the repository is case sensitive
try {
IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
aCollection = (ICollection) aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
//Creating a File object
File myPDF=new File("D:\PDFfromJava.pdf");
//Getting the stream from temp file
myIS=new FileInputStream(myPDF);
IContent aContent = new Content(myIS,"byte",-1);
if (aCollection != null)
aResource = aCollection.createResource("PDFfromJava.pdf", null, aContent);
myIS.close();
//deleting the temp file from server
myPDF.delete();
}catch(Exception e){
response.write("Exce"+e);
One more thing the file name PDFfromJava.pdf mentioned in bold should be same at all places

How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
Thanks
Jim

This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.

Read BARCODE in PDF file

Hi! I've a requirement to read some barcodes inside PDF files. I actually can read from images, but can't find how to read them from a PDF. Someone has done this? Or maybe some suggestions to convert PDF to image, in that way I can read the code from the generated imaged?
Best regards!

I believe the iText library lets you read PDFs in Java. You can google it. Or for that matter, google java pdf library.
Once you know how to extract the barcode image from the PDF, it will be the same steps you use to read the image normally. If it's stored as something other than an image, that should be documented in the library's docs.

Table of contents in PDF files

IBooks gives two options for displaying the Table of Contents for PDF files—thumbnails or a conventional table. The thumbnails view is useless to me, and I would like the conventional table view to appear by default. Unfortunately, the TOC almost always appears in thumbnails view, and I have to manually select the list view.
Is there any way to set the list view as the default TOC view for PDF files?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
When you combine files into a single PDF, each file you include will have a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat/Reader. So, I suppose you could treat that as a Table of Contents. (It doesn't, however, create a separate TOC and append it to the file.) The bookmark names reflect the filename of each file you combined.
I hope that answers your question.
Best,
Sara

Reading content from PDF to XI

Hi All,
Can I know about, is XI capable of reading the content from PDF. As I came to know that we can achieve this with the adapter module can you please ignite me how to do for this or is there any other option other than this way or show me if already any threads or articles are existed?

Hi,
Please find some links on Convertion agent which not only convert the PDF documents. it is used to convert PDF, Word Document, HL7 and more...

Export save pdf presets inside pdf file

With distiller you have an option called "save adobe pdf settings inside pdf file", so as receiver of such a pdf file you can detect which settings are used for creating the pdf file.
Is there also such an option in Indesign so you can detect which settings (PDF presets) are used for creating the pdf file?

If you're receiving PDF files for output, you should acquire Acrobat Pro and learn how to use the Preflight feature. You can create and run preflight profiles based on your printing requirements. These profiles can check files (In Acro 6 - 9) and/or run fixes in Acrobat 8 Professional or Acrobat 9 Pro.

How to open hyperlink of PDF file uploaded at SharePoint(hosted at Office365) in 'Adobe Acrobat' for annotation and comments.

Hi,
I've a hyperlink of PDF file which is uploaded under SharePoint Document library(hosted at Office365 E1) on my custom '../SitePages/Approver.aspx'. Once user click on that hyperlink it should ask me to "Check-Out & Open' pdf file directly from sharePoint document library then it should automatically gets opened into 'Adobe Acrobat' where user will do some annotation/ comments in that pdf file & again 'Check-In' back his changes to SharePoint Document library.
Following article will explain how I want to Check-In & Check-Out pdf files from SharePoint document library once i click hyperlink on my '../SitePages/Approver.aspx' page.

Please let me know how to achieve this functionality using office 365.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated as this is top-priority requirement for us.

For instance, the forms.conf file:
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase)
AliasMatch ^/forms/java/(..*) "D:\Oradev/forms/java/$1"
# Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page
AliasMatch ^/forms/jinitiator/(..*) "D:\Oradev/jinit/$1"
# Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes)
AliasMatch ^/forms/html/(..*) "d:\oradev/tools/web/html/$1"
# Virtual Path for icons
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "d:\icons/$1"
...you can move your files in one of the existing physical directories - e.g: d:/icons - and call them with the following:
Web.show_Document('/forms/icons/document.pdf','_blank');But you can also add your own virtual/physical directory:
# Virtual Path for documents
AliasMatch ^/forms/documents/(..*) "d:\documents/$1"
...with the following code:
Web.show_Document('/forms/documents/document.pdf','_blank');Francois

Getting the page content as pdf file

Hi All,
I have a use case like i need to get the page content as pdf file.
For this i found xsl file and it's config under the following locations
/libs/cq/config/rewriter/pdf/transformer-xslt --config of source
/libs/wcm/core/content/pdf/page2fo.xsl -- xsl file location
For custamising this functionality i copied both confing node and xsl file under "/apps" .In the Config file i changed source to refer xsl file under /apps.But it's not taking config changes.
I have looked into http://cqblueprints.com/xwiki/bin/view/CQ+FAQ/How+can+I+configure+the+ PDF+rewriter
there it's saying like we need to modify the com.day.cq.rewriter.xml.XSLTTransformer class. i am not getting how to modify it.
I need this urgently
Thanks,

Read text in pdf files

Hi Ppl,
Is it possible to read text from pdf file ? We can use activex controls to open and display pdf files, but these activex doesn seem to support reading of text from these pdf files. Help me out plz.
Thanks

The full PDF format is VERY complex. Probably the reason why PDFBox was choking on one of the PDF files of a former poster. You are of course free to implement a PDF parser in LabVIEW but expect this to be a project where a man year of effort certainly won't be enough to even get close to what PDFBox can do. Then decide if you want to give it away for free just for the good karma of it, or attempt to sell it with a potential of maybe one license every year.
Just look at the opposite direction: Creating a PDF file from within LabVIEW. There are several Toolkits out there who can do that and they already took a considerable amount of time to develop. Yet the generation of a small subset of PDF features in a file is several exponents easier than parsing and interpreting any exisiting PDF document that might have been created by tools like Adobe Acrobate, with Adobe as the creater of PDF potentially using all the bells and whistles they eventually put into the PDF standard over those two or more decades, including quite a few bugs that eventually got documented as a feature.

Help me how to read the Hyperlinks from the PDF file using java ...
Thanks in advance,

Instead of cross-posting unformatted code you could have taken a look at the API, because there you might have come across a method named getLinks...Even though it's not documented, I really suspect that it will return the Hyperlinks on a given page.

I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.
