Teros.PdfToTextConverter

PdfToTextConverter is a light-weight .NET utility class that converts a PDF document to a text string.

Usage

Pass a file stream, file path or byte array to the converter. A newline-delimited text string is returned.

var converter = new Teros.PdfToTextConverter();

var docText = converter.ConvertPdfToText(filePathStreamOrBytes);

This class uses the PdfPig SDK and might not be fully thread-safe. You should instantiate a new object instance for each process or thread that uses it.

Caveats

  • PdfToTextConverter extracts only text from a PDF document. It does not recognize tables, images, etc.
  • Since there is limited layout information inside a PDF, blocks of text may appear out of order.
  • English language is assumed for some of the "tricks" to recognize when a sentence wraps to a new line.
  • This is the initial relase of the utility. It is fully functional, but settings/options are not yet implemented.
