pdfGetKeywords

[TheBob]

I scan to a pdf and ocr it. The resulting pdf is searchable. In vb.net I load the pdf to gdViewer and user the following statement:

gdviewer is my AxGdViewer control
filename contains the path and filename of the pdf

frmDocumentScanner.GdViewer.DisplayFromPdfFile(Filename)
dim myKeywords as string
myKeywords = me.gdviewer.pdfgetkeywords

The result is always blank. Is there sometine else I need to do.

Any suggestions Will be appreciated.

Hi,

You make confusion between PDF keywords which is a kind of PDF Metadata and PDF page text.

unfortunately GdPicture ActiveX is not able to extract PDF page text. We fully support this option in GdPicture.NET indeed...

Kind regards,
