convertToTextFile
Convert pages to text and write to a file.
convertToTextFile([in] int firstPage, [in] int lastPage, [in] BSTR textFileName)
This function converts the specified range of pages
(
firstPage
through lastPage
) to text, and
writes the text to a file on disk (textFileName
).
If lastPage
is -1, this function will convert up to the
last page in the PDF file. (See also numPages
.)
convertToTextFile
throws an error if the file could not
be created or if text extraction is prohibited by this PDF file.
This function is identical to convertToTextString
except that
it extracts to a file on disk rather than to a string in memory.
See the "Setting parameters" section in the function list for settings that affect text extraction.
VB:
pdf.convertToTextFile(1, n, "path\to\file.txt")
