Examples

The following example shows how to extract a raw text from the document page:

C#
// Create an instance of Parser class
using(Parser parser = new Parser(filePath))
{
    // Check if the document supports text extraction
    if(!parser.Features.Text)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Document isn't supports text extraction.");
        return;
    }

    // Get the document info
    DocumentInfo documentInfo = parser.GetDocumentInfo() as DocumentInfo;
    // Check if the document has pages
    if(documentInfo == null || documentInfo.RawPageCount == 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Document hasn't pages.");
        return;
    }

    // Iterate over pages
    for(int p = 0; p<documentInfo.RawPageCount; p++)
    {
        // Print a page number 
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Page {0}/{1}", p + 1, documentInfo.RawPageCount));

        // Extract a text into the reader
        using(TextReader reader = parser.GetText(p, new TextOptions(true)))
        {
            // Print a text from the document
            // We ignore null-checking as we have checked text extraction feature support earlier
            Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
        }
    }
}
