No. There is no such text extraction routine. The order of the text in the PDF is not necessarily the same as it appears. If fact my experience has been that it is very rare to find the text in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order in a PDF document.

You will need to use option 3 and then parse and sort the output so you can put the text in the correct order and on the correct line. There are many ways to accomplish this but none of them are simple. This will require some work on your part.

The previous list is the export from the PDF the first line is OK
the second is OK
the actual 3rd line is showing in the 6th line
ABN on the 7th line should be between SOCIAL CLUB and 1132321331
 
I am trying to get the data from the file for a client who exports data using pdf and wants me to import some of the data into another database is there an export option I can use fro pdf to allow this

The order of texts is defined at the creation of the PDF and can't be changed.
The fisrt writen on the pdf is the first in the output.

3 shows the strings for fonts etc and the text displayed out of order as well

is it possible to display the text only on the same format as the pdf file

the dispay using qPDF.DAExtractPageText(FileRef,PageRef,3)

is still out of order to the actual pdf file the lines are completely mixed up]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:01:45 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/quickpdf0714-pdf_topic1159_post5366.html#5366 <![CDATA[QuickPDF0714 PDF : You can use qPDF.DAExtractPage...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/quickpdf0714-pdf_topic1159_post5365.html#5365 Author: DELBEKE

You can use qPDF.DAExtractPageText(FileRef,PageRef,3).
With this option set, you'll obtain the textes and positions for each piece of text.

I am using Delphi 5 and interbase 7.5
 
I require to export to delphi / Interbase a PDF File containing employee data
when i use this code in Delphi
 
     memo1.Clear;
     qPDF := tQuickPDF0714.Create;
     qPDF.UnlockKey(Quickpdfkey);
     try
     if OpenDialog1.Execute then
          begin
          FileRef := qPDF.DAOpenFile(OpenDialog1.FileName,Quickpdfkey);
          PageRef := qPDF.DAFindPage(FileRef,1);
          Memo1.Lines.Text := qPDF.DAExtractPageText(FileRef,PageRef,0);          
     end;
     finally
          qPDF.Free;
     end;
 
The data displays but not in the same order as the PDF file (It waps around in no order). Is there a export program or a PDF Converter to achieve this on Delphi
