Hi,

I would like to render text only from pdf to image file.

I'm using DAExtractPageText function with option 4 and creating a new file base on returned data.

But the size of the rendered text is really different compared to the original.

Do you know why ?

Is there another way to do that ?

Thank you

Emgi

emgi,

You may want to make use of the following function

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SplitPageText.php

This will not work on very complex typeset PDF files but it works well on most files.

QP.LoadFromFile("1page.pdf", "");

QP.CombineContentStreams();

QP.SplitPageText(0);

QP.RemoveContentStream(0); // Remove the graphics layer leaving the text.

QP.SaveToFile("textonly.pdf");
