Hi Thomas and Shane, first of all thanks for you response.
Yes, agree extracting the data with a tool is a good approach.
eg. pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter. (that's what I am using)
But it a bit of a blind output.
I see some options using illustrator but I would have liked to prevent that :)
Best regards, Julien
No need for a third party tool to extract text from a PDF. This script delivered by Shane STANLEY doe the job.
(* text from PDF *)
use AppleScript version "2.4"
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "Quartz"
use scripting additions
on getTextFromPDF:posixPath
set theURL to current application's |NSURL|'s fileURLWithPath:posixPath
set thePDF to current application's PDFDocument's alloc()'s initWithURL:theURL
return (thePDF's |string|()) as text
end getTextFromPDF:
its getTextFromPDF:(POSIX path of (choose file of type {"pdf"}))
