I'm using PHP 7.2 v with Spatie\PdfToText\ latest version on server

Hi,

I am trying to use this code and here is the function that I am using

• the following method is added Pdf::setOptions
• Pdf::getText gained a third parameters to allow specifying optional options
• Adding InvalidOption exception when the added options is malformed.

An option is considered valid if it is a string which starts with a "-" hyphen.

Just noticed Symfony's Process class is used in this package.

https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-text/blob/184907c6723b956f8f9b584587bb0c0665b8f7b8/src/Pdf.php#L55

Some large PDF files get more than 60 seconds to be processed.

Would be useful if we can set some custom settings on process running.

I installed and configured everything and managed to get text from a local file. But when I try to get it from a public url it returns a

Could not read exception

Here's my code: (I am using mac)

Throws exception return Pdf::getText('{any public url to a pdf file}', '/usr/local/bin/pdftotext');

Works fine return Pdf::getText('{local file}', '/usr/local/bin/pdftotext');

Hello

Is it possible to detect Header and Footer from the PDF file and delete them before transferring them to the article? Only to get the main content.

Thank you for this repo.

Fixes #17

I needed the ability to increase the timeout when calling Symfony Process. Some of the PDFs I am converting to text are rather large and require more time than the default of 60 seconds.

A test was added to verify that the timeout is set on the Symfony Process by testing if Symfony throws an exception for a negative timeout value.

I'm happy to modify anything that Spatie's team would want to see reworked or improved.

Thanks!

I am unable to read the file with docx extension. Things are working fine with doc files. Following is the code through which I am getting the text $file_content = Pdf::getText($user_data['profile_path'], env('WORDTOTEXT_PATH')); I have set WORDTOTEXT_PATH as enviroment variable. I am using the exe file of antiword WORDTOTEXT_PATH='C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\antiword'

pdftotext is a .exe file , so i want to know that is it run in server if yes where to put this pdftotext.exe command in cpannel filemanager

$path = 'c:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin/pdftotext'; echo Pdf::getText('cosmic.pdf', $path);

or is there any other alternative for this?
