Hi all.
I am not a programmer yet, but with needs arising from my new job I might become one.
I have PDF files created via PDF creator from software that is mostly "DOS" with windows interface.
I would like to extract from those files data about text and it's position as well as data about drawings (which are scalable paths or vectors, they scale nicely when opened in inkspace).
Then I want to put that data in to MS word application (via VBA) and automate it's processing for further use and printing.
Is it possible to extract such data with the use of Quick PDF Library?
As far as I have looked into available documentation, I should be able to extract all needed data about text with DAExtractPageText, however I can't find anything that would allow me to extract data regarding existing paths or vectors (lots of functions to draw though).
Also, as I have only just recently read about calling DLL functions under VBA does the library provide function interface in both ANSI and Unicode or only Unicode?

Hi Yulek!
ANSI and Unicode is supported.
There are no extract-functions for paths / vector graphics.
Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Can data on vector graphics be extracted from an EMF file should I use library Rendering functions to create such output?

Hi!
You should read here:
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/ImageHandling.php
Only the image types bmp, jpg and tiff can be extracted.
In other cases you can try RenderPageToFile making an image of the current page.
Cheers, Ingo
