C# GhostScript - Not able to successfully convert from PDF to TXT file
I have been successful with extracting text from a PDF file using GhostScript along with the following command line arguments:
gswin32c.exe ^
-q -dNODISPLAY -dSAFER -dDELAYBIND ^
-dWRITESYSTEMDICT ^
-dSIMPLE ^
-c save ^
-f ps2ascii.ps ^
"test.pdf" ^
-c quit ^
>"test.txt"
Points to note: I copied the following three files from the installation directory into my C:\ directory.
1)gsdll32.dll 2)gsdll32.lib 3)gswin32
When manually running GhostScript through the command line I do the following: Run > CMD > cd C:\ (then proceed to input the above arguments).
(The above command works and a new file named "test.txt" appears in my C:\ drive with the appropriate pdf data).
When attempting to execute GhostScript
through the command line, however, I am not successful.
In my C# Winform Application, I am using the following code to execute GhostScript:
Process p1 = new Process();
p1.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\test.exe";
p1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = fa开发者_运维技巧lse;
p1.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\";
p1.StartInfo.Arguments = " -q -dNODISPLAY -dSAFER -dDELAYBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dSIMPLE -c save -f ps2ascii.ps " + quote + @"C:\h.pdf" + quote + " -c quit >" + quote + @"C:\test.txt" + quote;
File.WriteAllText(@"C:\hhh.txt", p1.StartInfo.Arguments);
p1.Start();
Does anyone see any obvious errors with my code? I would appreciate any help I can get here.
Thanks,
Evan
Make a batch file named
batch.bat
as follows.rem batch.bat rem %1 represents input file name without extension. echo off gswin32c -q -dNODISPLAY -dSAFER -dDELAYBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dSIMPLE -c save -f ps2ascii.ps %1.pdf -c quit >%1.txt
Compile the following code to get a console application named
myapp.exe
using System.Diagnostics; class myapp { public static void Main() { Process p1 = new Process(); p1.StartInfo.FileName = "batch.bat"; p1.StartInfo.Arguments = "test"; p1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p1.Start(); p1.WaitForExit(); } }
Put all in the same directory as follows and double click the
myapp.exe
. Done!
