How to read from pdf file using VB

I have a PDF file which contains three columns, emp no, designation, contact_info. I have 10 rows in that pdf file. I want to read row by row from the pdf file and write into another text file(tab delimited) using VB.
Could you please help me reading the pdf file?
Thanks,
Arindam

Without reading it in detail, this seems to be automating a save as text function in Acrobat. This will not give you any position information.
If you want position information without writing a plug-in, you need to use the getPageNthWord and getPageNthWordQuads methods in JavaScript.
If you have not already done so, you will need to download the Acrobat SDK which has the documentation you need.
Writing in C# makes even very simple things complicated; if you have a choice, consider VB.

How to Read a PDF File?

Hi,
I want to do something pretty basic: open a PDF file and
programmatically process its contents. Fundamentally, I would
like to
just have something that can get the text and do readLine and
return a
string for each line of text.
I searched everywhere for something that can do this. Just
reading a
PDF in raw will not work b/c it contains a good deal of
binary.
AlivePDF
http://alivepdf.bytearray.org/
appears to only be able to
create new PDF files.
The Core AS3 libraries appear to only be able to display PDF
content
in a browser:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=PDF_1.html
Is there anything out there that can do this, or am I just
going to
have to write my own?
Thanks in advance,
Davis

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty new to AS/Flex, etc.
Incidentally, I'm looking to build an application using Flex, and a
good portion of it I've already written in Java. I actually have
this code done as a java library. What I'd really like to do is
just have the Flex App call that. Now, I know you can call out to
Java using RemoteObject, HTTP, WebService, etc, but the target for
this app is more likely to be Air -- i.e. a local desktop
application. As such, I don't really want to require a user to run
a J2EE web container locally just to call into a Java library.
So far, that is the only way I can figure out how to
communicate between AS and Java. The alchemy thing is what I'm
looking for -- but as a Java version. I don't really want to port
my code to C/C++ now, and then use the alchemy bridge. I'd either
port it to AS directly or use some bridge to Java.
As a Flex newbie -- can anyone tell me if there is an easier
way to integrate with Java code that doesn't require a web
container?
Thanks!

Read a pdf file line by line

Hi
I am trying to read contents of a pdf file .I used pdfbox it worked but the problem ,is for large pdf files it throws OutofMemory Exception
so i want to know how to read a pdf file line by line using pdfbox or any other API's
Thanks

gkraju wrote:
It will work but
String x1= stripper.getText(doc);reads the whole document .so it will also throws exception if the file size is large.It might be an idea if you spent a few minutes considering the code fragment which was kindly posted. Your problem is that reading the whole file's text into memory uses up all the memory. Okay, that's a problem. So instead of whining here, why not consider what might fix that problem? The ridiculously obvious idea is to not read the whole file's text into memory. Can you figure out how to change the posted code to read, for example, only one page? If you can't figure that out then, really, perhaps you ought to consider doing something else instead of programming.

Using a servlet to read a pdf file that is in remote server

Hi,
I read some topics about how to read a pdf file using a servlet...but my issue is that my pdf files are on a remote Sun solaris server (intranet) and my servlet will be in a public network (internet), so my question is, still be possible to use this solution to read my remote file ? how i can access the remote file ??
any idea from where I can start ??
best regards,
carlos.

You may use a FTP client component to connect with your servlet to the Sun server, retrieve the bytes and serve them to the browser. Instead of reading the stream from a local file, you will be reading from a network socket, but the code -if well written and designed- may be very similar.
There are many good ftp client components for java, you may also use other protocols like HTTP or SCP (ssh file transfer).

How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
Be well...

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. Please help me out. I just want to read a PDF file as bytes from one location and write it as another pdf file in some other location with a diolog box prompting to open or save in the location where we want.
I executed the following code:
try{
File report =new File(location);
BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(report));
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + report.getName());
OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
int readlen;
byte buffer[] = new byte[ 256 ];
while( (readlen = in.read( buffer )) != -1 )
outs.write( buffer, 0, readlen );
outs.flush();
outs.close();
in.close();
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException) {
PrintWriter out= response.getWriter();
out.print("<center>"+PxDSLUtils.getApplicationProperty("label.error.CTM_E017")+"</center>");
Though it prompts with open, save dialog box when i try to open directly or when i save it some where locally and then open it i am getting the following message " File is repaired ot damaged.Operation failed." Any idea about what can be done??? Its very urgent.Please suggest.
I am not convetin to string just reading and writng as bytes itself.
Thanks in advance,
Mani
