How to extract text from the PDF document? [closed]

Download the class.pdf2text.php @ https://pastebin.com/dvwySU1a or http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/31030.html (Registration required)

Code:

include('class.pdf2text.php');
$a = new PDF2Text();
$a->setFilename('filename.pdf'); 
$a->decodePDF();
echo $a->output(); 

• class.pdf2text.php Project Home

• pdf2textclass doesn't work with all the PDF's I've tested, If it doesn't work for you, try PDF Parser

I know that this topic is quite old, but this need is still alive. I read many documents, forum and script and build a new advanced one which supports compressed and uncompressed pdf :
