I got PDF document from the customer. The document is 60 pages long. I need to read the data from middle of the page 49 to page 58. In ColdFusion there is cfpdf
tag that allows reading the pdf documents. Here is example of what I have so far:
<cftry>
<cfset mypdf = expandPath("./data.pdf")>
<cfpdf action="read" source="#mypdf#" name="PDFInfo">
<cfdump var="#PDFInfo#">
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfdump var="#cfcatch#">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
After document is dumped on the screen there are information like:
Author [empty string]
CenterWindowOnScreen no

I never before used the cfpdf and this is something new for me. I tried to search on the web but couldn't find the example on how I can get the data from PDF document. Is there a good way to get the data from specific pages in the file/document? Also I guess there has to be a loop that will allow accessing individual row data. If anyone have a good example of resource for this problem please let me know. Thanks.
