In a software I have to provide facility to import data from a PDF.
I check WD's docs. there is facility to load and show PDF but could not find anything that will allow me to extract text content from a PDF in a well formatted manner.
Any ideas as to how I can extract content of a PDF file?
TIA

| Hi, extracting text with knowing its exact position from a PDF depends on a lot of unknown factors. Version number of the used PDF converter and so on. Best ist to scan the PDF (or put it into a picture control if it is already scanned) and use an OCR program / library (BCL ?) to read the text. However, the x/y position of the text within the document is lost then. |

Thanks everyone for suggestions.
I wanted to use features offered by WD but it seems there is facility for this in WD17 so I will have to resort to using an ActiveX for this.
