How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF

[Stam Kapetanakis]

Hi Torsten,
i presume the pdf widget in pro is the opensource xpdfReader but don’t know for sure.


I did post on how to extract text from PDF using the free xpdfReader and non-pro LC:

I presume that with Pro this is simpler still.
hope that helps
