Hi,


I’m using the demo version to test the different features. However, I need the extraction is Hebrew also and the text is reversed…
Can you point me to a solution (I saw IsBidi, but it’s readonly)?

Thanks,
Uri.

Hi,

Thank you very much for considering Aspose.

Please share the input PDF file with us, so we could investigate the issue at our end. You’ll be updated with the results accordingly. Also, please confirm that you’re using the .NET version for evaluation purposes.

Hi,


We are using the .NET version for evaluation (currently the PDF library and after that we’ll check the WORD library as well).

The code snippet is :
//Instantiate PdfExtractor object
PdfExtractor extractor = new PdfExtractor();

//Set Password for input PDF file
extractor.Password = “”;

extractor.ExtractTextMode = 1;

//Bind the input PDF document to extractor
extractor.BindPdf(inputFile1);

//Extract text from the input PDF document
extractor.ExtractText();

//Save the extracted text to a text file
extractor.GetText(inputFile1 + “.txt”);

A sample file is attached.

I have two issues with the result:
1. The Hebrew is inverted (see original PDF and result TXT).
2. The numbers (years in the CV) are wrong after conversion.

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks,
Uri.

any news?


I should prepare an estimation for an upcoming project in which I need to support the extract text functionality… So, I want to be certain I have this functionality in your package…

I’d appreciate a quick response.

Thanks.

Hi,


Yesterday I had the same problem using pdflib TET.
I have found out that when the dates where BOLD it happened while REGULAR was ok.
Is there a way to remove styles from the document before extracting the text? (I need plain text)

Thanks,
Uri.

Hi Uri,

I’m afraid, it is not feasible to remove the styles from the PDF. However, as you know, we have already logged this issue and if it is caused due to the styles, it will be handled and resolved accordingly.

If you find any further questions, please do let us know.
Regards,

We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.
