How to search text in pdf file?

Hi all
I have to store the cover of a newspaper that include images and text and then should be able to search keywords in the cover.
I've read about to store in pdf format and use intermedia text.
I am just wondering the way to store and to do the search .
Thanks all

Hi,
You need store the PDF document in a BLOB column and create a CTXSYS index type.
e.g.: (.doc files)
CREATE INDEX I_DOC ON DOC_TABLE (DOC_COLUMN) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('SYNC (ON COMMIT)');Then you can test typing this SQL below:
select score(1) from DOC_TABLE where contains(DOC_COLUMN, 'My text', 1) > 0;In my case, i use this index for purpose to search on Word Documents (.doc)
Maybe this link help you to create an index type using FILTERS, in order to search on PDF files:

How to write a unicode text in pdf file

Dear Friends,
I am a beginner in acrobat pdf plug-in development. I was trying to write a unicode text (Tamil text) into pdf file.
Using same api I am able to write english text in time-roman, areal etc fonts. But I am not able to write tamil texts.
The code is as below:
        memset(&pdeFontAttrs, 0, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs));
        pdeFontAttrs.name = ASAtomFromString("Latha");
        pdeFontAttrs.type = ASAtomFromString("TrueType");
        pdeFont    = PDEFontCreateFromSysFont(                                        \
                        PDFindSysFont(&pdeFontAttrs, sizeof(pdeFontAttrs), 0),    \
                        kPDEFontCreateEmbedded);
        pdeText = PDETextCreate();
        PDETextAdd(pdeText, kPDETextRun, 0, (ASUInt8 *)buffer, _tcslen(buffer),
                                pdeFont, &gState, sizeof(gState), NULL, 0, &textMatrix, NULL);
        PDEContentAddElem(pdeContent, kPDEAfterLast, (PDEElement)pdeText);
        PDPageSetPDEContent(pdPage, gExtensionID);
        PDPageReleasePDEContent (pdPage, gExtensionID);
KIndly assume that PDEGraphicsState and PDETextMatrix are set properly set, I am not pasting entire code to avoid complexity.
Thank you,
Safiq

Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

Always scrolling back to the search bar for pdf files in ibooks. Is there a way to fix this?

First, you need to work out how to read each document type from Java.
E.g, for MS Word you could use Apache Jakarta POI - HWPF: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hwpf/index.html
Then, you use Apache Lucene to index and search.
See http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html

Searching text in PDF

I believe that I have heard that in GW 8 it will be possible to search text in PDF documents.
I have tried it, but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to make it work in GW 8?
Thanks,

It's still called the document conversation agent on Linux. I would set off
an indexing run to see if it kicks it all off properly. My PDFs have been
indexing here for a good long time :)

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.
