extract text from pdf file using only javascript [closed]

Question

How can I extract data from pdf file, using only javascript, in client side and with any browser?

Answer 1

pdf.js is a JavaScript pdf reader: http://mozilla.github.com/pdf.js/

Some similar projects:

• for docx and xlsx: http://blog.innovatejs.com/?p=184
• jsPDF is a pdf generator: https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF

If you are asking how to load the file, this can be done via an ajax request, but you won't be able to directly read the file content.
