Hi Saadia,


Thanks for your feedback. I have again tested the Java examples and unable to notice any issue. It seems there is some maven configuration issue in your IDE. Please share your sample pom.xml and error screen shot, so we will check guide you accordingly.

Meanwhile you may create a simple java project, add desired code sample in project and and add reference of Aspose.Pdf for Java jar manually to test the scenario.

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Hi Saadia,

Thanks for sharing the pom.xml. I have same pom.xml file and its working fine at my end.

However, please try following Aspose Maven repository url instead Aspose.PDF | Java PDF Document Processing Class Library and share the results.

Hello Tilal


I am trying to run ExtractTextFromAnParticularPageRegion.java based on specified coordinates but it always displays following text as output:

Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.Pdf. Copyright 2002-2016 Aspose Pty Ltd.


Please help me why it is not displaying the exact text placed in specified rectangular area.

Regards

Hi Saadia,

Thanks for your inquriy. Please note Aspose.Pdf evaluation version has two limitations, evaluation watermark and at most four elements of any collection can be viewed. Please make a request for 30 days temporary license and implement it to evaluate our product without any limitation, your issue will be resolved.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Thanks it worked like a magic.



Now another question arises:
How can we select rectangles on a pdf document to specify the coordinates?
(We have to extract specific metadata from a document.)

Hi Saadia,


Thanks for the acknowledgement.

We are glad to hear that your problem is resolved.

Now concerning to other query on specifying rectangular coordinates, do you need to extract page contents from certain page region ? If so is the case, then please follow the instructions specified over Extract Text from an particular page region

In case I have not properly understood your requirements, please share some further details.

14

Yes i have to extract text from specified coordinates of a certain page. To acheive this we first need to have web based PDF Editor, so that user can specify the coordinates that will be used for all other pdf documents.

Hi Saadia,


Thanks for sharing the details.

I am afraid Aspose.Pdf does not support the feature to display PDF documents. However in order to accomplish your requirements, you need to Convert PDF Page to Image format, then render the images in image view control and implement some functionality where user can specify the coordinates / region which which he/she needs to extract the contents.

Once you have the coordinates, you can use the same information to extract text from PDF file. In the event of any further query, please feel free to contact.

Hello Talal


I have been working on your proposed solution, but the coordinates of image are different from pdf respective coordinates.

Any solution to fix the resolution changes issue.

Hi Saadia,

In addition to Nayyer’s reply, for Web based editor you may check GroupDocs document viewer, a product of our sister concern and may contact GroupDocs support for the details. Hopefully It will help you to accomplish the task graphically.

saadia:

Any solution to fix the resolution changes issue.

please note Aspose.Pdf page origin is left bottom and its coordinates are (0,0). So rectangle coordinates of page will be x=0,y=0,urx=page width and ury= page height.

For example if you have X,Y,width and height values of a rectangle. And X and Y values are top left coordinates of your rectangle, then you can convert these values to Aspose.Pdf Rectangle parameters as following. However if still there is any confusion then please share some further details and your sample PDF document, so we will look into it and guide you accordingly.

llx=x;
lly=page.Rect.Height-y-height;
urx=x+width;
ury=page.Rect.Height-y;

Best Regards,
