Hi All.
I want to extract information given in annotations (comments) inside PDF files, using regex.
When I open the PDF file in EditPlus it shows me a large file with about 10,000 lines containing the data I need & also lots of text that looks like junk, but when I read it through Perl it just reads about 29 lines & lots of the junk from PDF is missing.
I tried the texttopdf modules availabe, but they do not give me the contents in the annotations. 
    open (PDFTYPELOG, "+>pdftype.txt") or die "cannot open file errorl
+og.txt for writing : $!";
    open (FILE_HANDLE, "D:\\MyScripts\\Social008-017.pdf") or die "can
+not Social008-017.pdf for reading : $!";
    while ($LineContent = <FILE_HANDLE>)
    {
        print PDFTYPELOG ($LineContent);
    }

Please tell me how can I read the whole file line by line (if possible).
Regards.
