Hi Guenter,

I will need to extract certain information at certain position of the pdf.
Pdftotext() will extract a lot more information in a page and I cannot verify the info is what I want.

Regards,

Peter Zhou

Hi, in regard to the current memory sizes and processor speeds it shouldn't be a horrible thing to convert the whole pdf to text and search it for a certain keyword?

Kind regards,
