By mistake, I posted this as a follow-up on a previous thread. I figured I should start a new threat with it:
Using GetPageText(3) works perfectly with documents that are PDF Version 1.2 (Acrobat 3.x). However, the csv information returned from documents that are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) fails to return the full text content. It seems to return only the first 1 or 2 characters from each text object. Is this a known issue? Any solution? Many Thanks! - Ido |

By the way, using the SaveToFile / LoadFromFile approach (that was suggested in an earlier thread describing a similar problem) doesn't fix the issue for me.

Posted in the other thread as well... I am using GetPageText(3) in v1.3 docs with no issues at all. In fact, GetPageText(3) was the single most compelling reason for my purchase of QuickPDF. How are your PDFs created? Can you post an example? sb |

They are created through Crystal Reports.
The 1.2 (Acrobat 3) version is from Crystal 9. Here's a sample that works perfectly with GetPageText(3): http://www.milletsoftware.com/Download/visual_cut_9.pdf The 1.3 (Acrobat 4) version is from Crystal XI. Here's a sample that fails to return the full text with GetPageText(3): http://www.milletsoftware.com/Download/visual_cut_11.pdf Doing LoadFromFile(originalfile)... SaveToFile(workfile)... LoadFromFile(workfile)... to try to work around the problem doesn't make a difference. The GetPageText()still returns only the first 1-2 characters from each text object. - Ido |

I am getting the same results as you. Sometimes the first letter and sometimes no text at all. I am however getting the proper bounding rectangle of the text.
This problem likely has more to do with the file creation utility than with fact that it is v1.3.
I’m sorry that I do not have more to offer. |

This Code... quickPDF.SplitPageText(0); ...gives the same results as before - only a few of the first characters. Edited by swb1 |

Thanks! So we know that trying to play with Layers doesn't fix the issue.
It's strange that the text is clearly there in the pdf, and the function finds it, but then it fails to recognize all of it. Many thanks for the detective work... - Ido |
