CJK Support

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there,

As a long time user of this library I was really pleased to see it get continued support through this site! (It has to be about the fastest PDF 'textraction' lib out there). 

We suddenly had a need to support CJK (and Arabic) extraction so I was relieved to see Unicode support in the latest lib. However, When I tried this I was unable to extract anything other then ASCII. 

For testing I am using the ActiveX DLL, I define WANT_UNICODE and use Widestrings in calling the getPageText function - with option 0.

Am I using the lib correctly or is true CJK support not there yet?

Thanks in advance,

Brendan

	Hi Brendan, the Unicode text extraction is a very complicated stuff. At the moment my work for Unicode Text extraction is private and will be made (by me) available only as sponsoring feature. If you will consider sponsoring I can fix that problem for you as soon as possible (~1 Week). For more detail information you can write me at: marian_pascalau(at)hotmail(dot)com
