How to extract text from pdf files?

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I tried extracting text as given in the documentation but the text is not extracted for pdf files.
Can I get some help?

Document pdfDocument = new Document(“input.pdf”);
TextAbsorber textAbsorber = new TextAbsorber();
pdfDocument.getPages().accept(textAbsorber);
String extractedText = textAbsorber.getText();

PdfExtractor pdfExtractor = new PdfExtractor();
pdfExtractor.bindPdf(fis);//fis - file input stream
pdfExtractor.extractText();
pdfExtractor.getText(fileName + “.txt”);

The above code also does not work.

We were not able to notice any issue while testing the scenario with Aspose.PDF for Java 20.10 at our side. Please check console output in attached image;

You can notice in the console output that Evaluation Version Message is appended as well which indicates that you are using the API without any license. As requested earlier, please try to use the API with a valid license and in case you still face any issue, please let us know.
