[BlueOnyx:26055] Re: PDFparser

[Juerg Sommer]

Hi Colin

What do you want to do with PDFs? As far as I know, BlueOnyx has no 
implemented pdf parser. But I have many experience with pdf-parsing with 
php. Take a look at FPDF or TCPDF. Also the packages "poppler-utils" has 
some useful binaries (ex. pdftotext to extract text from a pdf file) and 
ghostscript can be used to convert a pdf to a jpg or pdf file (can also 
be do with imagick, but ghostscript is much faster and better). binaries 
must be called with exec() or system().

I think for BlueOnyx pdf-parsing is off topic, but If you give more 
informations, I can maybe give you some tips. You can also contact me 
directly by mail if you want.

Regards,
Juerg

PS: pdf components needs updated php. The built-in pdf 5.6 in 5209R is 
too old (and for security reasons anyway a bad idea), so I hope you have 
php updated to at least php 7.2
