To
all,
I recently
became aware of iText and have successfully used it to write PDF-documents from
text. However, now I need to go the other way. I'd like to read an
existing PDF-document and create output. The FAQ page answers the
question
with the
answer
No, the pdf format is just a canvas where text and graphics are
placed without any structure information. As such there aren't any
'iText-objects' in a PDF file. For instance: you can't retrieve a table object
from a PDF file. Tables are formed by placing text and lines at selected places.
I understand this and probably should just accept it
at face value, but I thought that I'd ask anyway. There is a PdfReader
class. Isn't there anyway of reading the file and writing some if not all
of it's textual features out?
Thx * rgds
