Re: How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Do you like the result? I am not sure what you mean. I have opened the PDF file with the Preview app and then selected the whole text with ctrl/cmd-A. By copying the text with Ctrl/CMD-C it gets into the clipboard where I can import it into my Livecode app as text. This works fine, a minor problem ...

How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

Hi,

I have a PDF filewith text and pictures, but I just want the text.

I can do it manually with Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Copy by viewing the file with Preview on MacOS.

I have a business licence and want to use the PDF widget but I cannot find a way to do it.

Can someone help me out?

Cheers,
Torsten

Re: How to make a short vibrate on Android?

Hi Klaus, your suggestion is correct. Does anybody have more specific advise about how complex it is to write this widget? It seems to be a very simple command and I hope that the LCB code could be also simple, but I have not found any examples of a simple java command like this. In the simplest for...

Re: Determining External IP Address.

Eayiest way with LC server (which can be rented < 4 $ monthly on www.hostm.com) is this script:

Code: Select all

<?lc
put  $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]
?> 
The output is the ip of the client.

Re: You cannot trust arithmetic anymore

RTFM :D

In the dictionary:
"While using non-integer number and divisor usually produces sensible results, mathematically, integer division is generally defined as a function over the integers, and the results using non-integers may not consistently be what you expect."

Re: Number between .....

If you need the comparison more than once in your code, it is better to create a custom handler :-) numberWithin (2,2,4) --> true numberWithin (5,2,4) --> false function numberWithin pNumber, pMin, pMax if pNumber >= pMin and pNumber <= pMax then return true else return false end if end numberWithin...
