Thanks for the help. THe LoadFromFile / SaveToFile / LoadFromFile did the trick in getting me back into a format that QuickPDF could read.

Hi Bernhard,

try this workaround: LoadFromFile(originalfile)... SaveToFile(workfile)... LoadFromFile(workfile)... GetPageText...
SaveToFile will write the pdf-content back to disk with quickpdf-technics. Loading the new saved file a second time will solved your problem i think.

Don't know for sure, but here are some possibilities:

1. PDF now gets created as image instead of text streams (are they considerably larger than before?)

2. New PDF creation engine uses newer compression algorithm (zbig?) that QuickPDF may not be able to uncompress.

To test, see if the standard freebie commandline tools pdftk and pdftotext (part of xpdf) can uncompress and extract text from them.

Also, after uncompressing with pdftk, view PDFs with a text editor, you should see the text inside unless it's in an image.

Hi,

I posted this message originally with the QuickPDF forum, but decided also to come over here.

I switched from a Crystal 8.5 generated PDF document to Version 10.0 of Crystal and the GetPageText no longer retrieves the proper text information.

Obviously, there must have been some format changes in the Crystal V10.0 PDF format. I have sample documents available. Has anybody else experienced these and possibly know a solution?

TIA

Bernhard
