Thanks Sherzod.

I am looking for a JS solution to extract text from PDF files.

I do not want to shell out to 3rd part solutions but stay within the UniGUI application and extract all text from PDF file using Javascript.

Can you help ?

Hello,

Please explain your case in more detail.

Open PDF File
Extract Text from PDF File (line by line)
Save Text

Hayri did help me and I am very grateful for his efforts, however, I would like the extracted text to be CRLF delimited (as shown in the PDF - not one continuous concatenated string where it is difficult to get one line from another [particularly when there is no structure to the text and we only have the PDF new line view to delineate]).

Hi @Sherzod,

The file pdf created by "filePDF := UniServerModule.NewCacheFile('pdf', cFile,'');" show's nothing or blank

but if created by "filePDF := UniServerModule.FilesFolder + 'temp\' + cFile + '.pdf';", the pdf shows..

I can't use NewCacheFile?

 

Thanks,

Frances
