   I try to use asp code to extract text from a pdf file :  http://61.153.6.9/qs.pdf

Dim QP,ss
Set QP = Server.CreateObject("QuickPDFAX0724.PDFLibrary")
call  QP.UnlockKey("j59XXXXXXXX9b18gf9wu9xj4y")
If QP.LoadFromFile(server.mappath("qs.pdf"))=0 Then
   response.write "canot load file"
   response.End
End If 
Call QP.SelectPage(2)    ' the first page is an image.
ss=QP.GetPageText(4)
response.write "text:"&ss

The pdf file contains chinese charsets, I guess quickpdf canot detect the correct font type or encoding.

how can i do?
wish your help, thanks!

	Hi Essex! I could extract the content without any problems. To get the correct chinese characters you should try a unicode conversion (utf8) while extraction. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo

	I checked the result later, i found what the code returned were not text content, but the font name, and location info.
