PHP PDF to Text: Extract text contents from PDF files

This package can extract the text contents from a PDF file using pure PHP code (no external tools are needed).

It provides the following features:

- Text is extracted from PDF files as a single text property. Individual page contents are also available separately
- Text strings can be searched over the whole file contents, or through individual pages
- Support for multiple character sets: parsed text is returned in UTF8
- Embedded images can be extracted if desired
- Several option flags are available to adjust PDF contents processing
- RTL language processing
- Basic page layout rendering
- PDF Form data extraction
- Ability to extract areas of text as well as line and column contents, using an XML-based capture definitions
This recommendation solves the problem.

This package convert the content from an PDF file in plain text. What was also important for me is the fact that no further (external) packages are required.
