Read PDF

[dorians58]

Hi all;

Is there any way to read the content of pdf file in QT?

Thanks

That depends on what you are trying to retrieve from the file

[dorians58]

For example I want to retrieve text or image? How can I do that?

There is no easy way to do that. You'd have to parse the PDF file yourself or interface with applications such as Adobe Acrobat that would do it for you.

Don't know if this can help:

From what I remember poppler is too limited to return things such as images although you could try with Poppler::EmbeddedFile.

I never wrote anything using Poppler myself, I just suggested it thinking it might me useful.

I did but I was only rendering PDF files to images to provide a pdf backend for QImageLoader.
