Import PDF data?

Hi,
I see that Xojo 2020 has native PDF “capabilities”…for producing PDF files.
Wich is very good !
I was wondering if it can also extract/read PDF text ?

Thanks

Hi Chris ,
I’m sure DynaPDF can do this and other wonders, but I was wondering if now Xojo can do it natively without external plugins

Sorry, no.

Hi @Horacio_Vilches,

PDFDocument doesn’t parse PDF files by now; it is just intended to create PDF documents from code.
