PHP: reading a PDF and obtaining the position of a specific word (tag)

Asked 2019-Jul-26 at 06:39

I have a Laravel 5.6.39 project with a working esignature solution using these packages:

*"codedge/laravel-fpdf": "^1.3",

"setasign/fpdi": "^2.2",

"setasign/fpdi-fpdf": "^2.2"*

But this works only with a fixed position of last page, bottom right. What I need to achieve is:

read the PDF
find a word (like SIGNATURE etc.)
get the coordinates for that word
use these coordinates in the already prepared image insertion func.

It was done nicely with SetaPDF-Extractor. Tried the evaluation, bought the license and had good results in an hour.

I would save yourself the time and trouble involved with getting this to work and look at alternative libraries. There is a PDF text extraction gem called HyPDF that is also a Heroku add-on.

The issue might be that you have to initialize logging above if __name__ == '__main__' block. That way logging will be initialized when you import this as module.

QUESTION

Unable to extract any text from a (visually-)text-filled pdf

Asked 2017-Apr-22 at 07:50

I've tried most of the various command-line tools, perl's CPAN modules, and a few things besides (Apache's pdf thing, can't remember the name). This is apparently a problem in how the pdf was made, if they've included subfonts with only some of the characters, and didn't map these correctly to the unicode codepoints, pdf software can render the text, but there's no way to meaningfully extract it.

However, there is a non-free command line tool that seems to be able to do so (somehow).

It only works if you use the -s switch, and the documentation has this to say about that:

ANSWER

Answered 2017-Apr-22 at 07:50

Unfortunately you did not provide a sample pdf.

Considering the description of the -s switch which makes the text extractable, though, it appears as if in the pdf in question there is a mapping to Unicode which instead to the regular code points maps glyphs into the private use range starting at U+F000 by simply adding 0xf000 to their actual code point value.

Thus, text extractors believing this mapping should extract unicode characters in the U+F000..U+F0FF range (to do so they might have to be configured to output their result using a sufficiently Unicode encoding, not e.g. ASCII or ANSI).

All you should have to do is take this output and replace U+F0** characters by U+00**.
