PDF to text
By aggregator | September 22, 2011
This service will extract the text content from a PDF file. It uses the pdftotext executable from Xpdf (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). The text returned from this service often contains characters which are XML-invalid, therefore the text is returned in its binary or Base64 encoded form. The text output should be cleaned before sending to another web service.
