in reply to Reading PDF files

Hello,

This is only a assumption, since I am at work, and cannot try if it is woking...
But you may want to try this:
Get the CPAN module HTML::HTMLDoc::PDF
It has a method called to_string wich seems to do what you want.

print $pdf->to_string();

I have no clue how it is handling images, wich are inside of the PDF.

I don't think this does what you think it does. From the documentation:


This Module is the result of a HTML::HTMLDoc PDF-generation. 

So I think if you have generated the pdf object (from HTML) and want to write it to a file, this is the function you would use.

I already have a pdf file, and want to get text, not pdf formated output.
Thanks for the effort!
