How do you use qpdf for extraction when its README states “qpdf does not render PDFs or perform text extraction, and it does not contain higher-level interfaces for working with page contents.”
- ratrocket 1y agoNot the person you're replying to, but when they said "extraction" I believe they're talking about extracting pages from a PDF (like "splitting" the PDF apart, page-wise), not text. At least that's a thing I've used qpdf for in the past.

- kccqzy 1y agoYou can render the PDF into QDF mode and then it is relatively easy to extract text just by searching for Tj and TJ operators.
