Hi,
I am trying to parse the contents of the PDF with iTextSharp using :
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("Test.pdf");
reader.GetPageContent(pageNumber);
byte[] pageContentByteArray;
I am using this byte array to search for a partcular text based on a
Delimiter pattern by converting this to string by using -
string test = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(pageContentByteArray);
I am able to match the required text pattern inside the string generated
using the above statement. The above logic works absolutely fine if we use a
normal PDF input file.
My requirement is to read a PDF file which is created by CRYSTAL REPORTS
(Version-9).
I have a byte array of the page with me. But I tried to convert to string
using ASCII, UNICODE , UTF8, UnicodeBig..
string test =
Encoding.ASCII.GetString(invoicePageContentByteArray);
string test =
Encoding.Unicode.GetString(invoicePageContentByteArray);
string test =
Encoding.UTF8.GetString(invoicePageContentByteArray);
..... also using UnicodeBig
The output is not in the readable format. I could not find any text in the
page appearing in the output string. I guess the PDF generated out of
crystal reports is using some other encoding format.
(Note : We verified the template used by crystal reports to generate the
PDF. The search delimiter pattern is defined as the Text object)
There should be some way of doing the above. Not sure what is that I am
missing here. Can anyone please suggest ideas to resolve the above problem.
