Reading PDF

[Prema Varma]

Is there a way to read text from a PDF metafile?

PdfLoadedDocument d = new PdfLoadedDocument(path);
PdfLoadedPageCollection loadedPages = d.Pages;
string s = "";
foreach (PdfLoadedPage lpage in loadedPages)
{
s += lpage.ExtractText();
}

throws an {"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}

Is there a work Around if the PDF is a metafile.

Hi Prema,

Thank you for using Essential PDF.

We can’t extract text from the metafile but we can import the metafile into PDF and then we can extract text from the PDF. Please refer the sample for more details.
