That's an interesting suggestion, but it doesn't do anything to solve his
problem. The PDF functions are used to CREATE PDFs, but they don't do
anything about READING PDFs.

To extract stuff from a PDF file, you need a PDF rendering library. I'm
not aware of any PHP packages that do that (although I'm sure someone will
correct me), but you might look into xpdf or poppler.

I have looked over for such libraries, but they cost too much and I
found non for PHP. Can this be done in any other programming language?

Thanks for all your replies

Who knows? Ask in another language newsgroup.

But I don't know of anything for PHP.

Hi,

have a look at Perl and the PDF::Reuse module.
