Question

API integration with ROR and extracting column based content from pdf

Hi There,

 

I would like to read a pdf and extract content based on search strings provided (via code).

This content can be in column formats as well. Hence the service should be able to identify and return content accordingly.

I am using Ruby on Rails. Hence would like to know if these API's can be incorporated in Ruby on Rails.

 

Regards,

Mru

Just so you know: PDF files don't contain columns. Only text, which might appear on screen as columns. There are no markers in the file to say "here is column 1" etc.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I am referring to the text being present in columns.

But I am telling you the text is not present in columns. It only looks that way.
