TEXTfromPDF
is a text extraction tool for WinXP/2000 that automates the conversion
of Adobe PDF documents to text files. The PDFs may be on
local drives, network drives, or on the Internet.
PDF
files are great for exchanging formatted documents between people who don't
use the same software. But sometimes we need to be able to take the text
out of a PDF file and use it in Web pages, word processing documents, PowerPoint
presentations, desktop publishing software, search and indexing applications,
or in content management systems.
TEXTfromPDF
provides
access to the text content in PDF documents without requiring any Adobe
product. The extracted content is saved to text files where it
can be easily searched, archived, repurposed, and managed. A console
version is included with the application for script or batch file execution.
An ActiveX DLL version is available here
for application developers.
TEXTfromPDF is not a print driver or Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software.
It
is not able to process graphics or scanned documents. However, we do
offer a service to convert these type of PDFs to Text or Word Document format.
Please contact us for details and pricing.
