Does any one know of a good freeware PDF inspector tool which runs on OSX (snow leopard).
I need to have the PDF displayed in plain text including it’s operators. So the tool should decode all Objects (flate encoded) from an PDF into plain text including it’s operators.
The reason for this is: I’m trying to extract all the text from within a PDF inside an iPhone App. I’m able to do this just fine. But I don’t know which operators are use in the PDF. This results in a extracted string without any spaces and I need to know which operators are used in the document so I can figure out which operator should represent a space.
Try with PDF Vole. It’s open source (built on top of iText) and it is based on Java so it should work on OS X.
