I had exactly the same problem couple of days ago. While converting from .gif (oder something else) to .jpg worked really fine, converting from .pdf to .jpg produced exactly the same error. Thats happing because ImageMagick uses Ghostscript for reading/converting PDFs. You can solve the problem by installing Ghostscript (only 32-bit version works). Don’t forget … Read more
I’ve written a PDF annotation lib for iOS and found the same against-the-spec Acrobat behavior. As a bit of further info, the Text Markup annotation also contains an Rect entry as well as the QuadPoints entry. The Rect entry is per the spec, [llx, lly, urx, ury]. So in Acrobat generated Text Markup annotations, the … Read more
Ok. You already accepted an answer, but for anyone else coming here, I think there is an easier way, but it’s also not PHP’s standard mail function, which really isn’t going to work. If you can get the pear packages Mail and Mail_mime, it’s really easy to send emails with attachments. You can also directly … Read more
After some research, recurring to the OpenSSL documentation and exploring the Origami solution, i built the code below, and managed to insert a locally generated signature/certificate into a pdf document. Now I just need to figure out how to use this with an external generated certificate (check version 2 below, where i solved it). I’ve … Read more
You can do annotation by reading in a PDF page, drawing it onto a new PDF graphics context, then drawing extra content onto that graphic context. Here is some code that adds the words ‘Example annotation’ at position (100.0,100.0) to an existing PDF. The method getPDFFileName returns the path of the original PD. getTempPDFFileName returns … Read more
You can use Pdfbox List pages = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages(); Iterator iter = pages.iterator(); while( iter.hasNext() ) { PDPage page = (PDPage)iter.next(); PDResources resources = page.getResources(); Map images = resources.getImages(); if( images != null ) { Iterator imageIter = images.keySet().iterator(); while( imageIter.hasNext() ) { String key = (String)imageIter.next(); PDXObjectImage image = (PDXObjectImage)images.get( key ); String name = … Read more
I think urllib2 will get you what you want. from urllib2 import Request, urlopen from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader from StringIO import StringIO url = “http://www.silicontao.com/ProgrammingGuide/other/beejnet.pdf” writer = PdfFileWriter() remoteFile = urlopen(Request(url)).read() memoryFile = StringIO(remoteFile) pdfFile = PdfFileReader(memoryFile) for pageNum in xrange(pdfFile.getNumPages()): currentPage = pdfFile.getPage(pageNum) #currentPage.mergePage(watermark.getPage(0)) writer.addPage(currentPage) outputStream = open(“output.pdf”,”wb”) writer.write(outputStream) outputStream.close()
We are also looking for some way to convert html files with complex javascript to pdf. The javasript in our files contains document.write and DOM manipulation. We have tried using a combination of HtmlUnit to parse the files and Flying Saucer to render to pdf but the results are not satisfactory enough. It works, but … Read more
I know that the question is old, but if you find PDF.js too complex for the job, npm install pdfreader. (I wrote that module) It would take 5 lines of code to extract text from your PDF file: var PdfReader = require(“pdfreader”).PdfReader; new PdfReader().parseFileItems(“sample.pdf”, function(err, item){ if (item && item.text) console.log(item.text); });
