For testing, we have installed the Aspose Merge PDF Sample Package in our salesforce account successfully without any issue. Can you please confirm how you are trying to build the package manually or installing from package url?https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t900000002IgQ

We will appreciate it if you please elaborate your requirements, what do you mean by capture?

Did you mean to create image of a specific page region? if it is the case then I am afraid currently the functionality is not available in Aspose.Pdf for Cloud but Aspose.Pdf for .NET/Java. However please share some more details so we will guide you accordingly.

For Aspose.Pdf for Cloud pricing, please check pricing page for the details. You can contact our sales team, of your respective region, for any pricing related query.

Hi ,

I tried to install from this link :

https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t900000002IgQ

and it still gives below error :

Apex Classes(classes/ProductTests.cls) Missing feature Installing this package requires the following feature and its associated permissions: Apex Classes

To elaborate more on this , we are trying to read and store the data(page number - highlighted in red) in the attached screenshot.

We are able to achieve this using Javascript but wanted to know how Aspose does the PDF reading?

We are looking for solutions other than parsing via JS.

Thanks

Thanks for your inquiry. Currently Aspose.Pdf for Cloud supports to extract text from whole PDF document. As per my understanding you need to find text in a specific page region, so we have logged a new feature request SAASPDF-146 in our issue tracking system for further investigation and implementation. We will keep you updated about the issue resolution progress.

Thanks for your patience. Please note Salesforce has restrictions of ApexClasses for their General and Professional Editions. You have to use Enterprise or Ultimate Edition to install these packages. Can you please tell, which Edition you are using? so we guide you accordingly.
