Description
Overall this is the best PdfToText php code I have found. Great code and good job. There are two errors inside the PdfToText.phpclass when I ran the extract form data from pdf example.
Example:
/PdfToText-master/examples/formdata-extraction/example.php
Error 1:
Undefined function ValidPhpName....
My solution:
The ValidPhpName should be member of PdfObjectBase::. However, everywhere in the program it refers to an incorrect class.
Replace all:
PdfToTextFormDefinition::ValidPhpName
With:
PdfObjectBase::ValidPhpName
Error 2:
The GetFormDataFromPdfObject is private error.
Old:
private function GetFormDataFromPdfObject ( $pdf_data )
Change it to pubic.
public function GetFormDataFromPdfObject ( $pdf_data )
This solution worked for me. Here is a portion of the form data output.
OUTPUT:
Form data extraction using an XML definition file (sample.pdf) :
