Help with pdf text extraction

Jun 15, 2012 6:04 AM

Hello, i have problems extracting text from one pdf file.
All other pdf works fine (tested on 100+ files), but this one fails since my parser can't find BT ET Tj etc... tags
But there are lot of texts, other apps somehow parsing this.
Question is: it is only way to store text in pdf, placing it between BT ET ?

Or there are some other technics? By reading pdf reference i didn't find the answer.

 

Thanks.

    Is the text inside of Form XObjects?  Is the text in a Pattern?   Or Annotation Apperances?

     

    These are all types of Content Streams that text can appear in…

    I think inside Form XObject. Can't find a way how to parse it. Or in which section of PDF Reference i can read about it?
    Thanks!
