PDF Reader

Built with WeBuild

A simple Go library which enables reading PDF files. Forked from https://github.com/rsc/pdf

Features

  • Get plain text content (without format)
  • Get Content (including all font and formatting information)

Install:

go get -u github.com/ledongthuc/pdf

Read plain text

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ledongthuc/pdf"
)

func main() {
	pdf.DebugOn = true
	content, err := readPdf("test.pdf") // Read local pdf file
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(content)
	return
}

func readPdf(path string) (string, error) {
	f, r, err := pdf.Open(path)
	// remember close file
    defer f.Close()
	if err != nil {
		return "", err
	}
	var buf bytes.Buffer
    b, err := r.GetPlainText()
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }
    buf.ReadFrom(b)
	return buf.String(), nil
}

Read all text with styles from PDF

func readPdf2(path string) (string, error) {

Overview

Package pdf implements reading of PDF files.

Overview

PDF is Adobe's Portable Document Format, ubiquitous on the internet. A PDF document is a complex data format built on a fairly simple structure. This package exposes the simple structure along with some wrappers to extract basic information. If more complex information is needed, it is possible to extract that information by interpreting the structure exposed by this package.

Specifically, a PDF is a data structure built from Values, each of which has one of the following Kinds:

Null, for the null object.
Integer, for an integer.
Real, for a floating-point number.
Bool, for a boolean value.
Name, for a name constant (as in /Helvetica).
String, for a string constant.
Dict, for a dictionary of name-value pairs.
Array, for an array of values.
Stream, for an opaque data stream and associated header dictionary.

The accessors on Value—Int64, Float64, Bool, Name, and so on—return a view of the data as the given type. When there is no appropriate view, the accessor returns a zero result. For example, the Name accessor returns the empty string if called on a Value v for which v.Kind() != Name. Returning zero values this way, especially from the Dict and Array accessors, which themselves return Values, makes it possible to traverse a PDF quickly without writing any error checking. On the other hand, it means that mistakes can go unreported.

The basic structure of the PDF file is exposed as the graph of Values.

Most richer data structures in a PDF file are dictionaries with specific interpretations of the name-value pairs. The Font and Page wrappers make the interpretation of a specific Value as the corresponding type easier. They are only helpers, though: they are implemented only in terms of the Value API and could be moved outside the package. Equally important, traversal of other PDF data structures can be implemented in other packages as needed.

Functions

func Interpret

func Interpret(strm Value, do func(stk *Stack, op string))

Interpret interprets the content in a stream as a basic PostScript program, pushing values onto a stack and then calling the do function to execute operators. The do function may push or pop values from the stack as needed to implement op.

Interpret handles the operators "dict", "currentdict", "begin", "end", "def", and "pop" itself.

Interpret is not a full-blown PostScript interpreter. Its job is to handle the very limited PostScript found in certain supporting file formats embedded in PDF files, such as cmap files that describe the mapping from font code points to Unicode code points.

There is no support for executable blocks, among other limitations.

type Value

type Value struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Value is a single PDF value, such as an integer, dictionary, or array. The zero Value is a PDF null (Kind() == Null, IsNull() = true).

func (Value) Bool

func (v Value) Bool() bool

Bool returns v's boolean value. If v.Kind() != Bool, Bool returns false.

func (Value) Float64

func (v Value) Float64() float64

Float64 returns v's float64 value, converting from integer if necessary. If v.Kind() != Float64 and v.Kind() != Int64, Float64 returns 0.

func (Value) Index

func (v Value) Index(i int) Value

Index returns the i'th element in the array v. If v.Kind() != Array or if i is outside the array bounds, Index returns a null Value.

func (Value) Int64

func (v Value) Int64() int64

Int64 returns v's int64 value. If v.Kind() != Int64, Int64 returns 0.

func (Value) IsNull

func (v Value) IsNull() bool

IsNull reports whether the value is a null. It is equivalent to Kind() == Null.

func (Value) Key

func (v Value) Key(key string) Value

Key returns the value associated with the given name key in the dictionary v. Like the result of the Name method, the key should not include a leading slash. If v is a stream, Key applies to the stream's header dictionary. If v.Kind() != Dict and v.Kind() != Stream, Key returns a null Value.

func (Value) Keys

func (v Value) Keys() []string

Keys returns a sorted list of the keys in the dictionary v. If v is a stream, Keys applies to the stream's header dictionary. If v.Kind() != Dict and v.Kind() != Stream, Keys returns nil.

func (Value) Kind

func (v Value) Kind() ValueKind

Kind reports the kind of value underlying v.

func (Value) Len

func (v Value) Len() int

Len returns the length of the array v. If v.Kind() != Array, Len returns 0.

func (Value) Name

func (v Value) Name() string

Name returns v's name value. If v.Kind() != Name, Name returns the empty string. The returned name does not include the leading slash: if v corresponds to the name written using the syntax /Helvetica, Name() == "Helvetica".

func (Value) RawString

func (v Value) RawString() string

RawString returns v's string value. If v.Kind() != String, RawString returns the empty string.

func (Value) Reader

func (v Value) Reader() io.ReadCloser

Reader returns the data contained in the stream v. If v.Kind() != Stream, Reader returns a ReadCloser that responds to all reads with a “stream not present” error.

func (Value) String

func (v Value) String() string

String returns a textual representation of the value v. Note that String is not the accessor for values with Kind() == String. To access such values, see RawString, Text, and TextFromUTF16.

func (Value) Text

func (v Value) Text() string

Text returns v's string value interpreted as a “text string” (defined in the PDF spec) and converted to UTF-8. If v.Kind() != String, Text returns the empty string.

func (Value) TextFromUTF16

func (v Value) TextFromUTF16() string

TextFromUTF16 returns v's string value interpreted as big-endian UTF-16 and then converted to UTF-8. If v.Kind() != String or if the data is not valid UTF-16, TextFromUTF16 returns the empty string.

type ValueKind

type ValueKind int

A ValueKind specifies the kind of data underlying a Value.

const (
	Null ValueKind = iota
	Bool
	Integer
	Real
	String
	Name
	Dict
	Array
	Stream
)

The PDF value kinds.

Notes

Bugs

  • The package is incomplete, although it has been used successfully on some large real-world PDF files.

  • There is no support for closing open PDF files. If you drop all references to a Reader, the underlying reader will eventually be garbage collected.

  • The library makes no attempt at efficiency. A value cache maintained in the Reader would probably help significantly.

  • The support for reading encrypted files is weak.

  • The Value API does not support error reporting. The intent is to allow users to set an error reporting callback in Reader, but that code has not been implemented.
