Re: Read pdf Content

You can extract PDF file content in PascalScript by calling 3rd party tools, such as Xpdf command line tools. See the Xpdf script to get started.

Once you extract the content, you can easily search it with functions like Pos, TextPos, MatchesRegEx, etc. See all available PascalScript functions.
