	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

	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. http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/ http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/

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