I have a requirement to read/search text from pages within a PDF document.
So far I have managed to load the document and display pages using DonManFred's wrapper. Unfortunately, the functionality does not include extracting text from the pdf document. However, looking around the net, it appears that some implementation of PDFium do. e.g. a version for dot.net (https://pdfium.patagames.com/)
Now, I don't know anything about wrappers and underlying github projects etc but I was wondering if text reading capability is now part of standard PDFium functionality (if there is such a thing) and if so how could it be made available? Would this need changes to the wrapper?
As I said, I'm not familiar with wrappers and the architecture around them so apologies if I've got the terminology all wrong.
