Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable.15.2120.0.40.nupkg question

[Josep]

Hi folks,

this is my first thread in forums. I did not find an specific forum for PDF. So I writte in general.

I'm using this nuget package to extract text and coordinates of a text. This is the code:

example

//Load an existing PDF.
PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(fileName);
//Load the first page.
PdfPageBase page = loadedDocument.Pages[0];
//Extract text from first page.
string extractedText = page.ExtractText();
//Close the document
loadedDocument.Close(true);

ExtractText is missing. And how can I get coordinates?

I must use a portable version because I do not need viewing engines, in WPF and UWP. I only need text features (text it self and coordinates)

Cheers

Hi Josep, 

  

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

  

Please find the details below, 

  

ExtractText is missing	At present we do not have support for Extracting text in the Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library. However, we have planned to implement this feature in our Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library. This feature will be available in 2017 Volume 2 Service Pack 1 release, which is expected to be available at the end of May 2017.
how can I get coordinates?	This can be achieved by the FindText feature in the Syncfusion PDF library. But at present we do not have support for FindText feature in the ASP.NET Core platform. We have planned to implement this feature in our Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library. This feature will be available in 2017 Volume 3 release, which is expected to be available at the end of July 2017.

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

I'm talking both ExtractText  and Coordinates in Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library, not  ASP.NET Core platform. Ticket assignment to ASP.NET Core is wrong

Hi Josep, 

  

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

  

At present, we do not support the ExtractText and FindText features in the Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library. As updated earlier, these features will be available in our future releases. 

  

Note: We are using Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library as a base project for both Xamarin and ASP.NET Core platform.  

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Due ExtractText and Text coordinates never will be available in Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable, how can I access to internal PDF objects using Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable?

At this moment I have access to Page object but I wish to access to obj ... endobj content.

Some information will be appreciated

Cheers

Hi Josep, 

  

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

  

We regret to let you know that the support for extracting the text from the PDF document in Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library is not provided in our 2017 Volume 2 SP 1 release due to some technical difficulties. However, this feature will be available in our 2017 Volume 3 release, which is expected to be available at the end of July 2017. The support of the FindText feature (which returns the coordinates of the given text from the PDF document) in Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable library will also be included in 2017 Volume 3 release. 

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi folks,

I tested ExtractText but I don't obtain text of any page. I tested ExtractText(), ExtractText(true), ExtractText(false) and I only obtain escape chars. I tested several PDFs. Does
ExtractText should return all page text separated by \r\n?

Cheers

Hi Josep, 

  

Thank you for your update. 

  

Please find the details for your queries in the below table. 

  

Details	Query
I tested ExtractText but I don't obtain text of any page. I tested ExtractText(), ExtractText(true), ExtractText(false) and I only obtain escape chars. I tested several PDFs.	We regret to let you know that we could not reproduce the issue “Text extraction is not working properly” in the ASP.NET Core application. We have created a sample for your reference and you can download the sample from the following link.     http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/130557/ze/ExtractText-118840621     We suspect that the reported issue is specific to the PDF document. So please share us the PDF document in which you have faced the issue. This will be helpful for us to analyze further and assist you better.  Note: The text extraction feature in the .NET Core is available from .NET Standard library 1.4 version. So Kindly refer the “Syncfusion.Compression.NETStandard14” and “Syncfusion.Pdf.NETStandard14” packages to achieve the text extraction from PDF document in the application level.
Does ExtractText should return all page text separated by \r\n?	The escape sequences “\r\n” marks the line breaks in the pages of the PDF document which is break text content between pages.

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
