Claudia Kosny	Friday 22 September 2006 2:22:40 pm Hi Luc Everything I have read about pdf for EZ points to EZ being able to create PDF but not to read them. I might have overlooked something (I haven't done much with pdf yet), but I think it is not possible to get information from a pdf file this way. It might be possible to write an extension that uses e.g. the http://www.fpdf.org/ library. I am not sure how good that works as this as well is mainly directed to creating pdf instead of reading it. Good Luck Claudia

Hi Luc

Everything I have read about pdf for EZ points to EZ being able to create PDF but not to read them. I might have overlooked something (I haven't done much with pdf yet), but I think it is not possible to get information from a pdf file this way.

It might be possible to write an extension that uses e.g. the http://www.fpdf.org/ library. I am not sure how good that works as this as well is mainly directed to creating pdf instead of reading it.

Good Luck
