Hi,
I know this sounds possible but I could not figure any where how to do it.
I have thousands of PDFs that have their reference at the same place.
I would like to be able to select this area and get the text to identify the reference of the PDF.
Basically I would like to have something like :
WPDF_GETTEXT( x, y , width , height, Page number) : string;
How should I do ?
(No action from user requiered, batch fonctionnement).
thanks
With next release this will be possible:
pdf.command(COMPDF_GetTextSetOptions, 4+2); // Activate the filter
pdf.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX, 150);
pdf.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectY, 150);
pdf.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX1, 400);
pdf.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRecty1, 300);
ShowMessage(pdf.GetPageText(0));
Great ...
When ?
It is available now for download
Ist es auch möglich X, Y, X1, Y1 von einen selektierten Text zu bekommen?
Many many many thanks you saved my year ;-)
Hi,
I load the new version and started working on it...
{$I WPViewPDFINC.INC}
Uses WPDF_ViewCommands, WPViewPDF4, WPViewPDF3,..
...
WPViewPDF1.ViewerStart('wPDFView03.dll', 'aircraft data systems', 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy' , xxxxxxxxx);
WPViewPDF1.MouseMode(wpLeftButton, wpmDrawCustom );
WPViewPDF1.Command(COMPDF_SelectMode, wpmouse_DrawCustom );
...
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextSetOptions, 4+2); // Activate the filter
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX , StrToInt(Edit6.Text) ); --> 36
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectY , StrToInt(Edit7.Text) ); --> 483
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX1, StrToInt(Edit8.Text) );--> 47
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRecty1, StrToInt(Edit9.Text) ); --> 541
RzMemo1.Lines.Add(WPViewPDF1.GetPageText(0));
...
Coordinates were taken out of a direct selection on screen with the DoSelRectEvent event.
And it takes the whole page text every times.
What is that ?
function GetPageText(PageNo: Integer; format: string = ''): AnsiString;
{ :: This function retrieves the ANSI text of a certain page in the range 0..PageCount-1<br>
PageNo = -1 will read the complete text.<br>
PageNo = -2 will read the selected pages.<br>
PageNo = -3 will read the selected text<br>
This formats are possible: RTF, ANSI, UNICODE, HTML.<br>
For HTML it is possible to add a '=' and the path which will be used for the images: HTML=path
}
should I put : RzMemo1.Lines.Add(WPViewPDF1.GetPageText(-3)); ?
Hi,
You are using Wpviewpdf version 3?
I added the feature to the current version 4.

Hi,
I tried with that :
FormCreate :
WPViewPDF1.ViewerStart('wPDFViewPlus04.dll', 'aircraft data systems', 'YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY' , XXXXXXX );
WPViewPDF1.MouseMode(wpLeftButton, wpmDrawCustom );
WPViewPDF1.Command(COMPDF_SelectMode, wpmouse_DrawCustom );
And I get the same result.
The whole page is recongnized whatever I pass as parameters:
ButtonCLick:
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextSetOptions, 4+2); // Activate the filter
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX , StrToInt(Edit6.Text) );
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectY , StrToInt(Edit7.Text) );
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX1, StrToInt(Edit8.Text) );
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRecty1, StrToInt(Edit9.Text) );
WPViewPDF1.AddHighlightRect(0, StrToInt(Edit6.Text), StrToInt(Edit7.Text), StrToInt(Edit8.Text), StrToInt(Edit9.Text) , 255, [wpAnnotAtFoundText] );
RzMemo1.Lines.Add(WPViewPDF1.GetPageText(0));
What I have in my Installation and execution folders:
wp_type1ttf.dll Version 2.10.0.0
wp_type1ttf64.dll Version 2.4.6.2
wpdecodejp.dll Version 1.2.0.1
wpdecodejp64.dll Version 1.2.0.1
wPDFView03.dll Version 3.28.4.2
wPDFView03x64.dll Version 3.28.4.3

wPDFViewPlus04x64.dll Version 4.4.2.0
In your first post you had WPViewPDF1.ViewerStart('wPDFView03.dll',..) , this is why I asked.
Please send me a sample and the coordinates you are using so I can try it out myself.
Zugriffsverletzung bei Adresse 0726446F in Modul 'wPDFViewPlus04.dll'. Lesen von Adresse 00000000.
Just after : WPViewPDF1.ViewerStart('wPDFViewPlus04.dll', 'aircraft data systems', 'YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY' , XXXXXXX );
Coordinates:
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextSetOptions, 4+2); // Activate the filter
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX , 457 );
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectY , 86 );
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX1, 100 );
WPViewPDF1.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRecty1, 23 );
WPViewPDF1.AddHighlightRect(0, StrToInt(Edit6.Text), StrToInt(Edit7.Text), StrToInt(Edit8.Text), StrToInt(Edit9.Text) , 255, [wpAnnotAtFoundText] );
RzMemo1.Lines.Add(WPViewPDF1.GetPageText(0));
Please note that the 3. and 4. COMPDF_GetTextFilterRect parameters are X1 and Y1 values, not Width and Height.
I used this code to test:
procedure TForm1.SelRectEventToDrawrectangleandextracttext(
Sender: TObject; const PageNr: Integer; R: TRect);
var WPViewPDF : TWPViewPDF;
s : string;
begin
WPViewPDF:= (Sender as TWPViewPDF);
WPViewPDF.OnSelRectEvent := nil;
try
WPViewPDF.command(COMPDF_GetTextSetOptions, 4+2); // Activate the filter
WPViewPDF.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX , r.Left );
WPViewPDF.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectY , r.Top );
WPViewPDF.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectX1, r.Right );
WPViewPDF.command(COMPDF_GetTextFilterRectY1, r.Bottom );
s := WPViewPDF.GetPageText(PageNr);
ShowMessage( s );
finally
WPViewPDF.command(COMPDF_GetTextSetOptions, 2); // DE-Activate the filter
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.Drawrectangleandextracttext1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if pdf<>nil then // "pdf" is the current WPViewPDF instance
begin
pdf.OnSelRectEvent := SelRectEventToDrawrectangleandextracttext;
pdf.CommandEx(COMPDF_SelectMode, 2); // let the user draw ...
end;
end;About the AV: If you use the viewer to work on a PDF, the window must be created.
Otherwise the DLL is not loaded and the engine was not created.
