Wouldn't it be easier to open the .pdf in Adobe Acrobat, then just do a
Save As and choose your favorite file type, including .txt, .htm, .xml,
etc.?

Cris,
Are you a Magic or CS Meditech site? Also, when these reports are
converted to PostScript files does this also include adding header and
footer information so they are ready for COLD processing? Or are there
additional steps? I would be very interested in this. We have both
Meditech and McKesson’s Horizon Patient Folder. Thanks.

Kris,
We are, very shortly going live, with scripting Nursing
Documentation INTO the McKesson Horizon Patient Folder from MEDITECH ‘print
jobs’.
Interbit Data has done some custom programming for us, where
they convert our MEDITECH *.prn / PCL-5e files to PostScript via an
intermediate step using Adobe Distiller to create a PDF file.
Maybe they can do the reverse ….convert a PDF to text…? Just
a thought.
They are www.interbitdata.com .
Good Luck!
Cris

Does anyone know if it is possible to read data from a document? We
have a system (McKesson Horizon Patient Folder) that will only output
in PDF or TIF, not regular text file. We would like to be able to
scan for certain data in a specific location and use that data for
another process. Has anyone had any success with this or something
similar?
Thanks for any help!
