If you need further assistance with this issue, you'll need to repost in a generic Java forum, or perhaps do a google search for a barcode-reading library.

How to read tags from pdf to print in different printers (PCL or PS)

Hello from Spain.. I would apreciate some help who to read tags from pdf to discriminate PDF Production tag for send print PDF to printer job using driver PCL or PS. I get trubles when print PDFs files made by PDFcreator (Ghostscript, intermediate PDF from PS) in PCL job printer. I need to eval tags from PDF for send command line os javascript inside Adobe Acrobat to print in the correct job printer: PCL or PS...
Thanks.

As noted you cannot access the "Tag" of a PDF but you can access the meta data of a PDF and one of the items recorded in the meta data is the "producer". This meta data tag is supposed contain the name of the program that produced the PDF. One can access this through the "info" property or the "metadata" property of the doc object.
var cProducer = this.info.Producer; // get the producer application for this PDF;
console.show();
console.clear();
console.println("This PDF was created by " + cProducer);
Be aware that the user can easily modify the Producer information with Acrobat, JavaScript, or other application after the PDF has been created.

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.

ADF Mobile: Reading barcodes from camera

Hi everyone,
We are planning to develop an ADF Mobile application. One of our client requirements is that they can use Mobile camera to read barcodes from their products. We have tried to use Zxing for barcode recognizion but we get a poor level of successful recognizion
Is there any way to read barcodes from photos (any kind of plugin or recommended library) that we can use in combination with ADF Mobile to get this feature? Has anyone worked with any other library that can recommend us to use for achieve a better successful level?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi, thanks for your comments, but what would be the possible solution for developers who want to read barcodes using adf mobile 11.1.2.3 ? or when would be the next release date of adf mobile?
I´ve tried to launch zxing via url (barcode app should be installed previously) as you can see in https://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/ScanningFromWebPages, but i fail getting the scan code.
So i do not know if my try could be a solution or adf mobile definitively do not let to read barcodes.
thanks for your attention.

Read Comments from PDF...

Hello Everyone,
I need to know that how can we read comments from PDF file programmatically using C++.
I was thinking was to read from file itself. I thought the PDF file must have some text like "StartComments" and "EndComments". (if we open it in notepad) but didn't found anything like that.
Any suggestions ?
Or anyone can refer any free Library which does this thing.
Thanks

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.

Re: ADF Mobile: Reading barcodes from camera

Hi there!
Could you describe please, how do you integrate zxing in adf mobile? I think to open the camera using DeviceFeatures DataControl and then try to decode the image captured previously with Java but i do not get loading zxing classes in my android emulator device.

How to read text from PDF and HTML

I have got solution to read text form .txt file but did'nt get code for PDF and HTML.
I dont want to convert PDF to txt.
Please help me ...

reading from a file is always the same. using the same strategy used for a .txt will allow you to read a .pdf file.
Offcourse in itself it will be useless becuase pdf files have a special internal structure.
html files are identical to txt files.
What are you trying to accomplisch with the files you are reading ?

Read metadata from PDF via VBA

I wrote a VBA script that reads the custom properties of a collection of Word docs and writes the results to a file which I can then import to Excel.
Now I have to do the same thing for the PDF files created from the Word docs - that is, read the metadata from a collection of PDF files.
The fields that have to be read are always the same.
How can I read the metadata of a CLOSED PDF file from VBA?
For Word, the solution was to use DSOleFile.PropertyReader (part of the DS: OLE Document Properties 1.4 object library.
TIA

I refer you to some of the vendors that I just posted - perhaps there is a low cost solution you can find. Pound Hill has some scripting interfaces that might help.
Otherwise you will need to take the free SDK and hook it up somehow.

SharePoint 2013 Document Conversion from PDF to Word (docx) format

Hello all,
I know that SharePoint has the facility to convert documents from Word to PDF using the Word Conversion Service, and I've worked with it in C# using the object model.
We have a client request for the opposite process. They have an email-enabled document library that receives PDF documents...they would like these converted to Word (.docx).
I'm believe that SharePoint 2013 Word Automation Service has no way to do this (although I could be wrong); and I'm not sure of the object model either. However, in Office Web Apps you can open a PDF file in the browser, and the form has a button labeled
"Edit in Word". When selected, it shows a message: "Word Web App will make a copy of your PDF and convert it to a Word document for you to edit."
Is there a way to access the SharePoint Office Web Apps object model/API in code, to do the same thing that the "Edit in Word" button does? It would be great to be able to hook into those methods, if possible.
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
According to your post, you want to convert the pdf file to word format.
For converting the pdf file to word format, a workaround is that you can read the content of PDF file out and then construct a Word document using C#.

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.
