Re: Copy PDF

Does the place sending the receipts have any other way to get the data?
Web service? XML, JSON, etc?

Parsing PDF files for data is worse that parsing spooled files for data in
my opinion. Before digging too far into that, I'd see if you can get the
data some other way, in an actual format that IS data. :)

Hi All,

We get receipts saved to the IFS as a PDF. I want to get at the contents
so I can save to PF and reconcile.

Can I copy that PDF to a txt or PF on the IBMi that I can read?
Can I read the PDF directly?

This will all need to be done programmatically of course.

Thanks!!
