    <p>I've been down the same road as you, with even much more complex tasks. </p> <p>After trying out everything I ended up using C# under Mono (so it runs on linux) with iTextSharp. </p> <p>Even with a very complete library such as iTextSharp, some tasks required allot of trial-and-error :)</p> <p>To extract the text from a page is easy (check the below snipper), however if you intend to keep the text coordinates, fonts and sizes, you will have more work to do.</p> <pre><code>int pdf_page = 5; string page_text = ""; PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("path/to/pdf/file.pdf"); PRTokeniser token = new PRTokeniser(reader.GetPageContent(pdf_page)); while(token.NextToken()) { if(token.TokenType == PRTokeniser.TokType.STRING) { page_text += token.StringValue; } else if(token.StringValue == "Tj") { page_text += " "; } } </code></pre> <p>Do a <code>Console.WriteLine(token.StringValue)</code> on all tokens to see how paragraphs of text are structured in PDFs. This way you can detect coordinates, font, font size, etc.</p> <p><strong>Addition:</strong></p> <p>Given the task you are required to do, I have a suggestion for you:</p> <p>Extract the text with coordinates and font families and sizes - all information about each paragraph. Then, to a PDF-to-images, and in your online viewer, apply invisible selectable text over the paragraphs on the image where needed.</p> <p>This way your users can select a part of the text where needed, without the need of reconstructing the whole PDF in html :)</p>

    1. COThe problem stay almost the same, I tried a lot of tools that allow me extract the text but not the image. You idea with layer it's exactly what I'm doing but to avoid hours of work, I'm looking for a PDFtoImage and text extractor in the same time. Like this it will return me the x,y position rights and I don't have to calculate it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
