I need to read certain parts from a complex PDF. I searched the net and some say FPDF is good, but it cant read PDF, it can only write. Is there a lib out there which allows to get certain content of a given PDF?

If not, whats a good way to read certain parts of a given PDF?

Thanks!

    I see two solutions here:

    • converting your PDF file into something else before: text, html.
    • using a library to do so and bad news here, most of them are written in Java.
