Hi!

I'm not the expert ... but (it seems to me) the only one looking here in a regularely way ;-)
I've never used option 4 but you can see that the developements 0-4 went different ways ;-)    I prefer option 3.

best regards,
Ingo

Thank you, Ingo (our pdf expert).

I have a PDF file, and GetPageText(3) returns an empty string, but GetPageText(4) extacts the text from that PDF. Is the 4th parameter better than the 3rd parameter?

Is there a guarantee method of a text extraction?
As I understand, GetPageText(0) isn't recommended.

Hi!
GetPageText(0) is faster ... but older and more buggy.
GetPageText(3) is not so fast but not so buggy... and it offers more informations - so take "3"...
It's like it is ;-)
Best regards,
Ingo

Let's see one PDF file, I uploaded it here:

Let's select the 3rd page and call GetPageText twice.

GetPageText(0) returns an empty string, but GetPageText(3) works much better, it returns:

Why GetPageText(0) gives not good results?

Many thanks in advance.
