PDF files handling

[Stephen Barncard]

Jan, this file doesn't seem to be a complete stack -- the 'bang' and 
other header stuff isn't there and

go URL "http://www.quartam.com/tutorials/pdfmetadata.rev"
or
go URL "http://www.quartam.com/tutorials/pdfmetadata.legacy.rev"

gets rejected by Rev with a 'no such card' error...

>You can download the result from:
><http://www.quartam.com/tutorials/pdfmetadata.rev>
>Or if you have an older version of Revolution:
><http://www.quartam.com/tutorials/pdfmetadata.legacy.rev>
>The magic is in the card script.

>It seems to do the trick for the collection of PDF
>files I dropped onto it; files created with the
>Quartam PDF Library were easy enough (as I like
>creating clean files), but I had a bit more work to
>get other files to display the results properly.
>
>If you find PDF files that it cannot extract the
>information from, while you can display it in Adobe
>Reader or Preview, feel free to send them to me so I
>can tweak the stack.

>Hope this helped,
