Thanks a lot!
I'll try both components... perhaps there's something we can use in quickpdf.

Best regards,
Ingo

No, iText can't extract text.

The best open-source tool is pdftohtml (which can also extract in XML format). It's based on pdftotext, which is one of the commandline tools available in the xpdf distro.

Hi!

From Ulrich i've got the insight that QuickPDF can't extract textcontent from new OpenOffice-PDFs...
My thoughts in this case: Working from zero on in the Adobe specs or to examine other sources of components which can extract textcontent from OpenOffice-PDFs, too. Is here anybody who can say if iText is the component i mean?

Best regards,
Ingo
