I am trying to use PHP to read the text from a PDF file that is stored in a mysql database. I tried using class.pdf2text.php, which works with an actual file. I tried to use the MYSQL_RESULT variable with the pdf file contents with that class, but it doesn't work. I've got to be missing something really easy, I just know it.
Basically, this is what I'm trying to do: I have a database with PDF files. I need to convert a PDF from that database to text and then search on that text for certain data. Is there a way to do this without creating external files in PHP?
