Issue running pdf extractor as scheduled task

Posted on

Good Morning

I recently purchased a copy of the pdf extractor.  I have a php script that is calling the command line and extracting text from pdfs and inputting them into a database.  I have a batch file that is calling the php script.  I can run the script manually as myself and it runs perfectly fine.  I run it as a scheduled job as either myself or as a user with the same permissions and it does not extract the text.  I cannot find any error that is occurring except I get errors in the event log every few times that indicate the application might have crashed.

I am running this on Server 2008 R2.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions as to how to proceed.

Thank you,
==============================
Maybe your PHP script hasn’t enough permission to launch the EXE application, please add "Everyone" user account to the folder where pdf2txtocr.exe application locate, give "Full Control" permission to "Everyone" user account, then you can call pdf2txtocr.exe application from your PHP code to convert PDF file to text file properly.

Batch add metadata to a series of PDF’s via an XML file

Posted on

I'm trying to find out if the Advanced PDF Tools v2.0 I purchased last week will allow me  to Batch add metadata to a series of PDF's via an XML file. If it will, I have an Excel spread sheet with the filename of several PDF's, along with unique criteria for several fields of meta data corresponding to each unique pdf file.  Assuming I get the fields customized to match the fieldname in my xls spreadsheet, can I convert the xls to an xml (if so, are there particular requirements for the xml format), AND can I batch import the xml so that it will locate each unique pdf, and IMPORT the unique metadata for each customized field ??  If this type of BATCH meta data import is possible through Advanced PDF Tools v2.0, can I get some kind of Instruction Sheet / Spec Sheet on how to do this, and how the XML must be formatted, etc.
Please advise.
Thanks,
==========================
PDF metadata has fixed format, after you installed Advanced PDF Tools v2.0 application, you can find an example of metadata file at following path,

"C:\Program Files\Advanced PDF Tools v2.0\metadata_test.xml"

Please refer to more information about metadata file format at following web pages,

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/metadata.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/metadata.pdf

if you are familiar with XMP format, you can convert from Excel document to XML format by yourself, this can be done easily.

pdf to word converter

Is your PDF to Word conversion program work on Linux?

Posted on

Hello,

I would  like to use Your PDF2Word conversion program as a batch PDF to Word conversion in Linux. Our program prepares the file in PCL mode in Linux and then we transfer it, using pcl2pdf, to PDF format. Such a file is made by program  the user's request available in Windows but sometimes would be very usefull to have this file already converted to the Word format. Is it possibile?

Of course if not, I will transfer (any way) the document to the Windows and then I will use Your PDF2Word.

You are saying that You suport many languuages. Have You got Polish?
How about conversion characters in PDF converted from Mazovia – can Your product convert it property? I mean, for example the frames or lines like in tables. Regadrs,
===============================
Thanks for your message, our PDF2Word is support Windows system only, it doesn't support Linux system, sorry for this matter.

Our PDF2Word product does support Polish language, if you encounter a PDF file that can't be converted by our PDF2Word product, please email that PDF file to us, after we checked that PDF file, we will figure out a solution to you shortly.

PDF to Text — Convert PDF to plain text file

Posted on

good afternoon ...

I need to buy the license of "PDF to Text", but I need to know how the record. You sent me a code which I should replace the program I downloaded from the internet PDF2TXTSetLicenseCode "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX".

Would be so kind to explain how I register the dll before Campra.

From already thank you very much.

Yours sincerely.
===============================
Hi,

You can run following command line to register PDF2TXTCOM.exe COM interface first, (you need run following command line in a CMD window which own administrator privilege),

PDF2TXTCOM.exe /regserver

Then you can use following VBS (VB Script) example to convert your PDF file to text file,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dim oTest
dim nRet

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = fso.GetParentFolderName(wscript.ScriptFullName)
destiantionPath = strFolder & "\verypdf.pdf"

Set oTest = CreateObject("PDF2TXTCOM.PDF2TXT")
oTest.com_SetTXTFormat 1
oTest.com_SetZoomRatio 90
oTest.com_PDF2TXTSetLicenseCode("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
nRet = oTest.com_Pdf2Txt(strFolder & "\sample1.pdf", strFolder & "\sample1-pdf2txt.txt")
nRet = oTest.com_Pdf2TxtEx(strFolder & "\sample1.pdf", strFolder & "\sample1-pdf2txtEx.txt",0,0,"","")
MsgBox "Convert Success!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please replace "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" with your real license key, you will able to convert your PDF file to text file without any restrictions.

PDF printing problems

Posted on

Hello,

I have been using PDFcamp Pro Version 2.30 for some time.  However, I am attempting to create PDF documents from Microsoft Word 2010 and, to my frustration, none of the text will print.  Documents that include both text and pictures show only the pictures; the areas where the text should appear are blank.  I am using Windows 7.

Do you have any troubleshooting help for me?

Thanks,
====================================
Our PDFcamp Printer does support Windows 7 and MS Word 2010 application, we suggest you may uninstall PDFcamp Printer and reinstall it to try again.

Hello,

Thank you for the help.

I reinstalled PDFcamp as you suggested.  I tested one of the same document that was previously printing without the text.  It printed the text, but the paper size was not correct.

So I went into Devices & Printers, Printing Preferences, and selected Paper Size: Standard : Letter (8 1/2x11in).  When I tested my document, it was again printing the pictures without the text.

So I went back into the PDFcamp Printing Preferences and changed to Paper Size: Standard: Legal (8 1/2x14in).  When I tested my document, it printed correctly, but the paper size was not what I wanted.

So I went into the PDFcamp Printing Preferences again and changed to Paper Size: Custom.  I set the Width to 8.5" and the Height to 11" (standard letter size).  I tested the document again and it printed perfectly.

If there is some fix to this, please let me know.

Hope this helps.
====================================
Thanks for your message, we suggest you may download and install docPrint Pro v5.0 from following URL,

https://www.verypdf.com/artprint/docprint_pro_setup.exe
