You can use the ready-made PDFParser library that you will find here: github.com/smalot/pdfparser

An example using it I give you bellow:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Smalot\PdfParser\Parser;

$parser = new Parser(); $pdf = $parser->parseFile('example.pdf'); $text = $pdf->getText();

$searchText = "Hello World !!";

if (strpos($text, $searchText) !== false) {
```
echo "Text found: " . $searchText . "<br>";
```
} else {
```
echo "Text not found.";
```
}

My PDF to Text: Parse a PDF document to extract the text contents

This class can parse a PDF document to extract the text contents.

It can take the file name of a PDF document as a parameter and parses the document file.

The class can extract the document's text and return it as a string.

This class convert PDF file to raw text which can be saved as .txt/.doc/.whatever or can be copied and pasted to anywhere.
