pdf to text converter

I cannot use the command line to convert a pdf file to text

Posted on

I recently had to rebuild my machine. In the process, I downloaded your PDF2TXT program and reinstalled it.
Now, I cannot use the command line to convert a pdf file to text. For example, the following results in a Microsoft error dialog saying that the program has encountered a problem and must shut down.

C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PDF2TXT v3.2\pdf2txt.exe C:\Temp3\TwoPage0001.pdf C:\Temp3\TwoPage0001.txt -format

My machine is running XP Pro, Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

Do you have a solution?
================================
Please run following command line to convert your PDF file to text file to try again, (-breaker parameter will insert page breaker into converted .txt file)

"C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PDF2TXT v3.2\pdf2txt.exe" C:\in.pdf C:\out.txt -unicode -breaker

You can also run following command line to convert PDF file to text file without page breaker symbols,

"C:\Program Files\VeryPDF PDF2TXT v3.2\pdf2txt.exe" C:\in.pdf C:\out.txt -unicode

We hoping "-unicode" parameter will work better for you, please to try.

PDFcamp Printer installation failure

Posted on

Yesterday I purchased 'PDFcamp (pdf writer)' from your website. Unfortunately I have been unable to install it on my PC.

Instead I receive 3 different error messages.

This is what happens:

The setup-program works its way ok until it show 100 % completion (finishing setup) Then it freezes and the first error message window pop up

1.part system for printer queue ceased to work and was closed.

closing this window comes a new one

2. AddPrinter failed,error code is 1726

and next

3. AddPrinter() function failed, error code is 1802

Then the last window in the setup-program appear and tells me it has finished installing 'PDFcamp (pdf writer)' on my computer and asks me if I want to launch it.

But its nowhere to be find. The exe-file has not been installed on my computer and I cannot run the program I have purchased. The other files appear as expected in the folder.

Now I need some help to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely

PS.I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavlion and use an HP Deskjet 4200 printer

Resolution in image to pdf conversion

Posted on

Hi, I am having some printing/resolution issues when converting tif to pdf.  When I print the pdf, the text comes out small (not the size of the page or how it looked as a tif). I am not sure what is the correct value to set for resolution and do not understand the readme document regarding this.

-r [resolution]    : set resolution in generated pdf file
-r  0           : use the default image width and height information
-r -1           : take over DPI info from original images

Please explain -  What is the ‘default image width and height’? what other values can I set for –r besides 0/1 so that the page always prints correctly?
==============================
>>Please explain -  What is the ‘default image width and height’?

"default image width and height" option will read image width and height from input image file, set the image width and height to output PDF file, for example, if input image file's width and height are 1000x2000 point, you will get a PDF file paper size at 1000x2000 point.

>>what other values can I set for –r besides 0/1 so that the page always prints correctly?

You can set 100, 200, 300, 600 or any DPI resolution to "-r" parameter.

VeryPDF
==============================
When setting the resolution to 300 dpi, which is the setting that our previous software was using, the pdf still prints incorrectly (small height and width). Does this have to do with your default a4 paper setting? We need it to be 8 1/2 x 11 always. Is there a way to specify paper size?
=============================
VeryPDF Image to PDF Converter hasn't an option to create PDF file at A4 paper, however, we suggest you may download another version of Image to PDF Converter from our partner's website to try,

http://www.imagepdf.com/image-to-pdf.htm

this product has -width and -height parameters, you can use these parameters to create PDF file at A4 or Letter or other paper size, for example,

img2pdf.exe -width 595 -height 842 -quick C:\test.tif C:\out.pdf

img2pdf.exe -width 612 -height 792 -quick C:\test.tif C:\out.pdf

PDF to Image SDK folder structure

Posted on

thanks for the quick response. Could I ask a quick follow on question?

It seems that the SDK includes a lot of new files and I just need to know which files are required for production deployment. With the previous version we really just pushed out the .dll files and that appeared to be sufficient.

So, with this new version, are there any additional files that should be included. Our only function is to convert PDF to PNG files, and will obviously prefer the minimum file set.
==========================
You need put following DLL files to your production server,

pdf2image.dll
cimage.dll
pvsdk.ini
encoding\*.*

then you can call pdf2image.dll from your code to convert PDF files to image files properly.

VeryPDF
=========================
Thanks for the information. We’re going to go ahead and give the new version a try. Let me just verify that I have the file placement correct - that I will place everything relative to our .exe, in a common directory, as shown here:

pdf2png.exe     -- Our executable
pdf2image.dll
cimage.dll
pvsdk.ini
encoding\*.*   -- The complete directory
=========================
Yes, your folder structure is correct, you can run your pdf2png.exe without any problem now.

Is PDFPrint change the Tray during printing?

Posted on

Is there anyway to use your solution to print say a 5000 page PDF to a specific printer and tell it to pull every 5th page from Tray 1 and the other pages from Tray 2?  Is there anyway to have it use metadata or ocr a field on the PDF document to dynamically know when to pull from tray 1?

Thanks!

Thanks for your message, our PDF Print Command Line product hasn't an option to change the "Tray" in one print job, however, you can write a simple application to call our PDF Split-Merge Command Line application to split your big PDF file to smaller PDF files at every 5th page, then you can call PDF Print Command Line to print these PDF files to different Trays, we hoping this solution will helpful to you.

>>Is there anyway to have it use metadata or ocr a field on the PDF document to dynamically know when to pull from tray 1?

Our product hasn't this option yet, it can't use metadata or ocr a field on the PDF document to dynamically know when to pull from tray 1, sorry for this matter.
