I need PHP code to extract info from a? PDF file. I want the app to read in the PDF file and extract 2 numbers from it. I need this done on a server that doesn't allow the PHP system() function, so if you planned on using that to convert the PHP to text first, it won't work. I basically need another way to convert a PDF to plain text or another method that will permit us to extract 2 very short strings from the pdf and insert them into an XML file for further processing, but all I need for this job is to extract the data from the PDF using PHP. If you can do it with JavaScriptk, ASP or another OOP language, I may? consider another type of solution. I preffer a solution that doesn't require the installation of any PHP classes such as XPDF and others I have seen. There should be a simple way to write a PHP function to extract the data. That is what I need. This bid request is not to complete the entire app, it is only for a working solution to this one problem, so I? don't expect to pay too much for a working solution just to parse 2 numbers from a PDF. Please describe how you will accomplish this in your bid request or it will be ignored.
## Deliverables
I will provide sample PDF files to the winning bidder. Since there is only small fields that need extracted, seeing them isn't important at this stage. Only winning bidder will be supplied with the PDFs. Remember if you can not deliver a working applicatioin that will work on a linux server with Cpanel, do not bid. Thank you. Happy bidding.
