jeteve has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi wise monks.
I wonder what is the simpliest solution to extract text from pdf in perl. Of course I can use pdftotext in command line, but it involves managing temporary files .. So I'm looking for a pure perl solution (or linked to a C library).. I had a look at PDF::API2 , but it's more dedicated to creation. CAM::PDF seammt to fill my need, but I can't manage to use it to extract the text .. I also had a look at SWISH, but it internally uses ... pdftotext :) .. Any Idea ? -- Nice photos of naked perl sources here !
