you haven't specified which your "expected results" are, so I presume you need not only the text but also positional informations:

So please see Parsing PDFs by text position? and the referenced older threads for various approaches.

Hi Khen1950fx,

Thanks for the help.. and when i run dependency installation code "File::LibMagic" installation seems to fail.. So, i tried to install it separately.. even then when i try to run perl MakeFile.PL it shows an error called "cant include magic.h"

what is the problem here..

what is the problem here..

"cant include magic.h" means it can't file magic.h, do you have magic.h?

You should know by now to read http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/FITZNER/File-LibMagic-0.96/README
