Syntax

Delphi

Function DLExtractFilePageContentToStringA(InstanceID: Integer; InputFileName, Password: PAnsiChar; Page: Integer): PAnsiChar;

DLL

const char * DLExtractFilePageContentToStringA(int InstanceID, const char * InputFileName, const char * Password, int Page);

Parameters

InputFileName	The path to the source PDF file.
Password	The password to open the file. Pass an empty string if the file is not protected.
Page	The page number to extract (1-based).

Return values

Empty string	Failed to open file, invalid page, or extraction error.

The returned string contains raw PDF page description instructions (such as drawing, text positioning operators). To extract human-readable text instead, use ExtractFilePageText.

var Content: AnsiString;
Content := PDF.ExtractFilePageContentToString('sample.pdf', '', 1);
if Content <> '' then
  // Process the content instructions...
