How to create a simple PDF to Word converter using PHP

To extract text from a PDF in PHP, you can use the PDFLib library or the fpdf library. Here is an example of how you can use PDFLib to extract text from a PDF:

< ?php

// Load the PDFLib library
$pdf = PDFLib::load();

// Open the PDF file
$pdf->open_pdi_document("input.pdf", "");

// Get the number of pages in the PDF
$page_count = $pdf->pcos_get_number($pdf->pcos_get_stream($pdf->open_pdi_page(1, "/Count")));

// Iterate through each page of the PDF
for ($page = 1; $page <= $page_count; $page++) {
  // Open the page
  $pdf->open_pdi_page($page, "");

  // Extract the text from the page
  $page_text = $pdf->pcos_get_string($pdf->pcos_get_stream($pdf->open_pdi_page($page, "content")));

  // Do something with the extracted text
  echo $page_text;
}

// Close the PDF
$pdf->close();

Note that this example assumes that you have the PDFLib library installed and configured correctly on your server. You will also need to have the input PDF file in the same directory as the PHP script.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
