Extract video from PDF
Somebody - author in a prestigious scientific journal - seems to have thought the ideal format to save a video in was using Microsoft Word to envelop it into a PDF. Although that PDF declares itself as version 1.7 it can't be opened with Acrobat 8. How do I extract the video from that silly mantle? As far as I'm aware (which is limited) it can be done neither through the xpdf-tool nor ghostscript. Any hints? Danke Axel

Poppler is a fork of xpdf. Perhaps pdfdetach -saveall file does what you want. -- J�rg Rustmeier

The "pdftk" CLI utility has an /unpack/ command. BTW, is it passworded? If not, then indeed it's silly to contain a video in a PDF document by itself. OTOH, if it needs to be encrypted for a non-technical audience in a platform agnostic way that does not impose installation of an obscure tool, then it's sensible. What alternative is there? There's zip, but corporate e-mail firewalls often block zip files.

Videos as supplementary material are not uncommon in scientific joiurnals and I've seen them all, mov, mp4, even avi, but never before PDF. And even if there were a reason for it, who but a moron would choose Microsoft Word as the appropriate tool to do it with? And thanks J=F6rg and Nomen, I'll look into both your suggestions. Axel

PDF::API2
Hello All, I am new to PDF files so I don't really know if what I want to do is possible and how to use the PDF::API2 modules. I need to extract information from columns in a table ( I assume that PDF does not know anything about tables).

I have played around with the PDF::API2 module and read the 'Using PDF::API2 - The code' help page, however it doesn't show me how to extract information from an exi...

ghostscript PDF page extraction, leaving text as text
Ghostscript may be used to extract pages from a PDF file with a command like this: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \ -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER \ -dFirstPage=48 -dLastPage=48 \ -sOutputFile=onepage.pdf input.pdf The problem is, while that page looks the same as the original in a PDF reader, it seems to be an image rather than an "object" representation. That is, open the extracted PDF in something like Acrobat or PDF XChange Viewer and "search" and "text selection" work, whereas in the extracted one neither function works. Presumably this is because the text has been r...
