This project provides PDF slots for Magic. The project provides the following slots, allowing you to convert a PDF file, stream or raw bytes to its text representation.

• [pdf2text] - Converts the specified PDF file or stream to text

How to use [pdf2text]

This slot allows you to retrieve only the text parts of a PDF document.

pdf2text:/foo/bar.pdf

Notice, the slot can also accept a stream, such as for instance supplied as an uploaded document, and react directly on the stream, avoid having to save the streamto a file first. It can also accept a string as its input, at which point it assumes the string is the relative path to a file. Finally, the slot can accept raw bytes, which it then assumes is the raw content from a PDF document.
