Reference: http:\/\/okfnlabs.org\/blog\/2016\/04\/19\/pdf-tools-extract-text-and-data-from-pdfs.html<\/a><\/p>\n

I already tested and installed a few good open source code, like pdfparser, pdfbox and pdfminer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PDFPARSER:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. clone from https:\/\/github.com\/smalot\/pdfparser<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. composer install<\/li>\n
  3. test by creating a new file index.php in \/works\/pdfparser\/index.php\n
    <?php\r\n    ini_set('display_errors', 1);\r\n    ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);\r\n    error_reporting(E_ALL);\r\n\r\n    \/\/ Include Composer autoloader if not already done.\r\n    \/\/include 'vendor\/autoload.php';\r\n    require_once('vendor\/autoload.php');\r\n    \/\/ Parse pdf file and build necessary objects.\r\n    $parser = new \\Smalot\\PdfParser\\Parser();\r\n    $pdf    = $parser->parseFile('export1.pdf');\r\n    \/\/$pdf    = $parser->parseFile('samples\/Document1_foxitreader.pdf');\r\n    $pages  = $pdf->getPages(); \r\n    \/\/ Loop over each page to extract text.\r\n    foreach ($pages as $page) {\r\n        echo nl2br($page->getText());\r\n        \/\/echo $page->getText();\r\n    }\r\n?><\/pre>\n
    NOT GOOD!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
     <\/p>\n
    PDFBOX:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. clone from https:\/\/github.com\/schmengler\/PdfBox<\/li>\n
    2. composer install<\/li>\n
    3. download jarfile\u00a0 from http:\/\/pdfbox.apache.org\/index.html (pdfbox-app-2.4.0.jar)
      \nthen move it to \/usr\/bin<\/li>\n
    4. test by creating a new file index.php in \/works\/PdfBox\/index.php\n
      <?php\r\n    ini_set('display_errors', 1);\r\n    ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);\r\n    error_reporting(E_ALL);\r\n\r\n    \/\/ Include Composer autoloader if not already done.\r\n    \/\/include 'vendor\/autoload.php';\r\n    require_once('vendor\/autoload.php');\r\n    \/\/use SGH\\PdfBox;\r\n\r\n    \/\/$pdf = GENERATED_PDF;\r\n    $converter = new \\SGH\\PdfBox\\PdfBox();\r\n    $converter->setPathToPdfBox('\/usr\/bin\/pdfbox-app-2.4.0.jar');\r\n    \/\/$text = $converter->textFromPdfStream($pdf);\r\n    $text = $converter->textFromPdfFile('export1.pdf');\r\n    echo $text;\r\n?><\/pre>\n
      BUT NEVER WORKS BECAUSE ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT ‘RUNTIME ERROR CANNOT ACCESS JARFILE’. ALREADY SET PERMISSION BUT THE ERROR STILL PERSIST. SO I RUN THE JAR VIA TERMINAL (READ: http:\/\/pdfbox.apache.org\/2.0\/commandline.html)<\/p>\n
      java -jar pdfbox-app-2.4.0.jar ExtractText export1.pdf<\/pre>\n
      BUT NOT GOOD!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      PDFMINER INSTALLATION:
      \nIt use python 2.7<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. clone from the source (https:\/\/github.com\/euske\/pdfminer\/)\n
        teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~\/Documents\/python$ git clone https:\/\/github.com\/euske\/pdfminer.git<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Run setup.py\n
        teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~\/Documents\/python$ sudo python setup.py install<\/pre>\n
        Here I have to use ‘sudo’ to install because I got permission problem without it<\/li>\n
      3. Test\n
        teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~\/Documents\/python$ pdf2txt.py -o export1.txt export1.pdf<\/pre>\n
        BEST OF THE OTHERS BUT STILL NOT GOOD! SELECT ALL THE TEXT THEN COPY PASTE STILL BETTER!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        I TRIED TO INSTALL TESSERACT<\/a> BUT EVEN WORSE THEN ABOVE!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
