read pdf file or word document

[KarthikGs]

hi all,

 i have a problem statement to read a pdf file's content(which is text not images) and extract the text with bold letters. Since there are no PDF related components, i tried converting the pdf to word document prior reading with talend. I tried reading the word doc with tfileinput(fullrow/delimited) but of no luck.

How can i read the data in any of the formats? 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

hi,

thanks for your reply, i understood the component tpdftoText is capable of converting a PDF in to a text file. But my requirement is to read the PDF or word(.docx) file and to apply transformations while reading it.

can i read the PDF file as it is and extract the required string from it by applying filters?
