I want to parse PDF file from PHP. For this, I have build this code (I have used PDF Parser library).
Code:
<?php
// Include Composer autoloader if not already done.
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Parse pdf file and build necessary objects.
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('XA035 - Luis gui Lopes esteves.pdf');
$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
?>
With this code, I'm able to read the text from PDF file but I'm not able to parse the information because for example, if in the file I have this line:
PERSONAL INFORMATION Marco Mengoni
Italia
Via della giustizia
when I call my page the echo $text; print this on the page:
PERSONAL INFORMATION Marco Mengoni Italia Via Della Giustizia.
Now is there a mode to parse single line????

Do you know any library that allows me to extract the text of a type A pdf to read it in PHP?
I have tried many libraries but none of them have been able to read the content
I need help
You could try PDF Parser, an open source library available in github
Will be something like this. But check the doc for further details
<?php
// lot of lines
// Parse pdf file and build necessary objects.
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('document.pdf');
$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
?>
I have a FlipBook jquery page and too many ebooks(pdf format) to display on it. I need to keep these PDF's hidden so that I would like to get its content with PHP and display it with my FlipBook jquery page. (instead of giving whole pdf I would like to give it as parts).
Is there any way i can get whole content of PDF file with PHP?
I need to seperate them according to their pages.
You can use PDF Parser (PHP PDF Library) to extract each
and everything from PDF's.
PDF Parser Library Link: https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser
Online Demo Link: https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/blob/master/doc/Usage.md
Documentation Link: https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/tree/master/doc
Sample Code:
<?php
// Include Composer autoloader if not already done.
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Parse pdf file and build necessary objects.
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('document.pdf');
$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
?>
Regarding another part of your Question:
How To Convert Your PDF Pages Into Images:
You need ImageMagick and GhostScript
<?php
$im = new imagick('file.pdf[0]');
$im->setImageFormat('jpg');
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
echo $im;
?>
The [0] means page 1.
I have a PDF file with a QR Code. Iuploaded the file on the server folder named "tmp" and now I need to scan and convert this QR via PHP.
I found this library:
include_once('lib/QrReader.php');
$qrcode = new QrReader('/var/tmp/qrsample.png');
$text = $qrcode->text(); //return decoded text from QR Code
print $text;
But this works only for png/jpeg files.
Is there any way to scan PDF ? Is there any way to convert PDF to png only the time that I need ?
Thank you!
First, transform your PDF into an image with Imagick, then use your library to decode the QRcode from it:
include_once('lib/QrReader.php');
//the PDF file
$pdf = 'mypdf.pdf';
//retrieve the first page of the PDF as image
$image = new imagick($pdf.'[0]');
//pass it to the QRreader library
$qrcode = new QrReader($image, QrReader::SOURCE_TYPE_RESOURCE);
$text = $qrcode->text(); //return decoded text from QR Code
print $text;
//clear the resources used by Imagick
$image->clear();
You would want to convert the PDF to a supported image type, OR find a QR code reading library that supports PDFs. IMO the first option is easier. A quick search leads me to http://www.phpgang.com/how-to-convert-pdf-to-jpeg-in-php_498.html for a PDF -> img converter.
Presumably the QR code is embedded in the PDF as an image. You could use a command-line tool such as pdfimages to extract the image first, then run your QRReader library on the extracted image. You might need a bit of trial and error to establish which image is the QR code if there is more than one image in the PDF.
See extract images from PDF with PHP for more detail.
I have a task of reading pdf files after an upload in the DB or n a folder,
What is the question here is : How to read PDF files in PHP or JS, JQuery, AJAX,
Then i want to recuperate the datas to inject in a form fields.
There's a lot of infos to do this process with text files but pdf seems complicated. There is a PHP class for that ? I'm not used to classes in Php but with infos, it would lead me.
Thanks a lot for help!!
Have a grreat one!
I managed to do this using http://www.pdfparser.org/
I needed the specifications from a pdf file and get all the raw text. This is the code I used:
<?php
include 'pdfparser-master/vendor/autoload.php';
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('specs.pdf');
$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
?>
When i start it's showing this error
<?php
$p = PDF_new();
?>
Fatal error: Call to undefined function PDF_new() in D:\wamp\www\upload.php on line 2
I am using Wamp Server. I tried in XAMPP also. Is there any directives i have to enable to execute the code ?
i suggest to you tcpdf. it was good for me.
some feature:
no external libraries are required
for the basic functions;
all standard page formats, custom
page formats, custom margins and
units of measure;
UTF-8 Unicode and Right-To-Left
languages;
I think http://www.fpdf.org/ is the best PDF library for PHP.
Download latest version from http://www.fpdf.org.
Put this library folder on your root server or in your project.
Create on test file named test.php & put below code in file as below.
<?php
include("fpdf/fpdf.php");
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',36);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>
It will create one pdf file with contents "Hello World!" in it.
You are done..
