RenderPdfTexts

[Maico]

Hello

I would like to use the PDF Viewer Control to get the text from the PDF I'm displaying.

But if i set the property isExtractText to true , I always get this error:

I think there is something missing in the PDF Viewer Service.

Can anyone help me please?

Hi Maico, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

In our PDF Viewer, when we set isExtractText to true , we need to add the RenderPdfTexts method in PdfViewerController. Please find the code from the below and the sample from the below link, 

https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/158463/ze/ej2-pdfviewer-web-service_(3)1738705078  

Code Snippet: 

PdfviewerController.cs 

        [HttpPost] 

        [EnableCors("AllowAllOrigins")] 

        [Route("RenderPdfTexts")] 

        public IActionResult RenderPdfTexts([FromBody] Dictionary<string, string> jsonObject) 

        { 

            PdfRenderer pdfviewer = new PdfRenderer(_cache); 

            object result = pdfviewer.GetDocumentText(jsonObject); 

            return Content(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result)); 

        } 

Default.html 

    <div style="height: 100%;width: 100%"> 

        <button id='textSearch'>TextSearch</button> 

        <button id='searchCount'>SearchCount</button> 

        <div id="pdfViewer" style="height: 100%;width: 100%;"></div> 

    </div> 

Index.ts 

let viewer: PdfViewer = new PdfViewer(); 

viewer.isExtractText  = true; 

viewer.serviceUrl = "http://localhost:62869/api/PdfViewer"; 

viewer.appendTo("#pdfViewer"); 

document.getElementById('textSearch').addEventListener('click', () => { 

    viewer.textSearch.searchText('pdf', false); 

}) 

document.getElementById('searchCount').addEventListener('click', () => { 

    var searchCount = viewer.textSearchModule.searchCount; 

    console.log(searchCount); 

}) 

Please try it and revert us with more details, if you need further assistance.
