Alex,
How is your XSLT, I seem to be seeing this all over the place today? There
are pressos at the coming CFUN04 by Michael Dinowitz and April Fleming on
working with it, one of the outputs of FOP is to txt or RTF
in the process it must convert the doc at some stage to XSL-FO using XSLT,
I`m assuming the doc can be converted by FOP then to pdf or rtf or text, I
may be incorrect in assuming this and it might not be possible as you
suggest, that is that you can step back with the pdf to XSL-FO then use the
engine to output to txt or RTF,...working with this before you probably
know more about it than I:)
For sure though if you can find a way to change the doc into xml then afaik
it is fairly straight forward to
use an XSLT transformation to do what you want. Apparently its the in thing
to grab anything in xml whether its emails from google using xml or search
applications, grab the xml apply XSLT and you can do anything with it, put
it into a database, make a rtf of it
"FOP uses the standard XSL-FO file format as input, lays the content out
into pages, then renders it to the requested output. One great advantage to
using XSL-FO as input is that XSL-FO is itself an XML file, which means
that it can be conveniently created from a variety of sources. The most
common method is to convert semantic XML to XSL-FO, using an XSLT
transformation."
ot Microblast html2text is excellent but you need pdf to text:)
I`m looking forward to CFUN04:)

Colm,
Thanks for the reply but, i dont see how FOP is going to help, i have
used that before and it helps for production of pdfs but what im
trying to do is take an existing pdf document and convert it either
into xml document, html or straight text output ?
Have you seen anything that does that ?

FOP is what you need
latest CFDJ there's an interesting article on using a free Apache
FOP(Formatting Objects Processor) that can be used with CFMX to create
free pdf's and other formats http://xml.apache.org/fop/output.html,
its a java application and the article by Nate Nelson describes how to
configure it for CFMX

Hi,
Has anyone got any experience of converting pdf docs into text or
html on the fly with cfmx, are there any free java based modules
that can do this ?
Cheers
Alex
