PDF to Text

9mohit2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I want to convert PDF to text format keeping the positions of the text same as PDF so as I can easily get the required data. I have seens posts recommending to use pdftotext and Poppler but can someone help me how can I setup these on a Windows 10 machine. Not getting any clear discussion on installation or usage on any of these. Exampoles would be very useful. Do let me know if any other way is possible. Thanks in Advance.

Have you searched (Super Searched) for related words or phrases? Have you sought information on how to execute an external program? Where's the code you've tried and your explanation of how it fails to achieve your intent? Spirit of the Monastery	[reply] [d/l]

I'm sorry... I couldn't resist. Exampoles I love it when things get difficult; after all, difficult pays the mortgage. - Dr. Keith Whites I hate it when things get difficult, so I'll just sell my house and rent cheap instead. - perldigious	[reply]
