Checking if a pdf contains text

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In our application we need to check if a pdf contains text (vector).
We use the DAOpenFile and we use the function DAExtractText.

If the file is on a network folder, the function DAOpenFile could take 200ms.

Is there another faster way for checking if a pdf is vector or not ?

	Hi Raphael! Try... // ... if (QP.HasFontResources < 1) Then ... If the result < 1 then there is no text content. So give it a try and forget your DA-function ;-) Cheers, Ingo
