Hi cew,

Do you have in mind pdf attachments like e.g. in a portfolio?

It's not possible directly, so you will need to open the attachment first - and then perform the text extraction in the separately loaded file.

How did you know that?
Ok, you just read my post about portfolios

It's not possible directly, so you will need to open the attachment first - and then perform the text extraction in the separately loaded file.

Do you have a code snippet on how to do that?

Best,

To extract text you will need to use the PDF Tools SDK or ActiveX Viewer.

See section "Text Extraction" in the PDF Tools SDK manual.

In the ActiveX viewer, use the methods "GetAllText" and "GetAllSelectedText". See Section 3.7 of the ActiveX manual titled "How to Extract Text from Document?"

e.g.

Code: Select all

// Gets all text to string variable (DataOut):
DoVerb("Documents[0]", "GetAllText", NULL, DataOut, 0);
// Gets all text to specified file:
DoVerb("Documents[0]", "GetAllText", "C:\PdfText.txt", NULL, 0);
// Gets all text to stream object which contained in DataIn:
DoVerb("Documents[0]", "GetAllText", DataIn, NULL, 0);
