[itshibu]

Dear all,

I am creating a small project for my company ie; document controller. In this project a small module is reading documents. I already made reading of other documents like word,text, etc. But I am unable to create a program that can read pdf files. My main aim is to find out the searching a word available inside the file.

I tried with some codes but it showing some unexpected outputs like that
xref
6 19
0000000016 00000 n
0000000859 00000 n
etc......

could u pls give me a source code with that I can read the pdf file effectively.?

Its urgent.

Thanks in advance
