[Podofo-users] Locating/reading a string in a PDF

[Virgiliu C. <vir...@on...>]

Hi

I work in Healthcare and we are are now developing an in-house (non-commercial)
application that, at some point, has to read a string in some PDF medical
records.
As we don't have an interest and knowledge in PDF-related coding, I've come
across PoDoFo as a possible solution for us. I had a quick look on the library
but it's difficult to find the time to try/experiment various things.

Looking in the tools provided with the package, it seems that there's nothing to
help us writing quickly a code to locate a text string into a PDF and to read a
text string as well. I am particularly interested in locating a heading word
('Doc:') and to read the string that follows immediately after (till a blank or
whatever other separator is encountered).

I would be grateful to the PoDoFo community for any related help (how to do it),
or C++ example/source code that would save us time.

Please reply to vir...@on...

Many thanks.

Regards,
