in reply to Re: Reading PDF files in thread Reading PDF files
On my linux box, I have pdf2ps and ps2ascii, but going through the motions with the pdf files under inspection, and the other sample I have breaks. The first during "open" and the second in the conversion from ps2ascii.
I can't find this program for a windows machine, is it just a part of the gs distribution?
Thanks.

Yes, it comes with ghostscript. It's also available with ghostscript/gview for win32.
You can probably find a perl replacement for ps2ascii if you don't want to install that too.
I'm not sure why it would break on your PDF's, other than the PDF having some embedded security or binary parts. | [reply] |
