Format exception error while Text extracting line by line from the PDF file
Hi,
I'm trying to extract text from this PDF File line by line using linecollection properties. but its showing this error- FormatException: String must be exactly one character long. But if try extracting text using layout base then its ok.
Another issue, how could I read a table inside the pdf file as it is? plss see the below picture in PDF file
Here is my sample code.
foreach (PdfPageBase page in loadedDocument.Pages)
{
TextLineCollection lineCollection = new TextLineCollection();
page.ExtractText(out lineCollection);
foreach (TextLine line in lineCollection.TextLine)
{
foreach (TextWord word in line.WordCollection)
{
if (word.Text != " ")
{
extractedText = extractedText + word.Text.Trim() + " ";
}
}
extractedText += Environment.NewLine;
}
extractedText += Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
extractedText += "===========================================================";
extractedText += Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
}
Thanking in advance for your help

Our Syncfusion PDF Viewer control will be extracting the text from PDF documents based on the structure of content present in the PDF document. So, based on that we cannot recognize the rows and columns present in the table of the PDF document. Also, it is not possible to extract the text in the correct order as it is in the PDF document. Sorry for the inconvenience.
