Extracting Complete Text from PDF using Lucene and JPEDAL!!!!

[Vinod Bhagat <vb...@blastradius.com>]

Dear People

  I am using Lucene and one of the requirement is to index PDF. I am using
JPEDAL's  API to extract text from PDF.  Till now i manage to get the text
of the first page, I am using the ExtractTextObject.java class to do the
above. But i want to extract the complete text of the PDF file. Have anyone
done this and possible could guide me towards it.

 Appritiate for your positive and quick reply.

 Cheers
Vin.

Hi Vin!

With JPedal you process one page at a time by calling the method decodePage
and supply the number of the page you want to process as argument.

In the example ExtractTextObjects the total number of pages is hard-coded to
1 (the variable end is set to 1 in the constructor), try to set the number
of pages by using the getPageCount method instead.

Best regards

Mikael Söderman

PS. Don't forget to always call flushObjectValues when done with a page.
This will make JPedal reuse memory.
