Error of 'Undefined Constant 'IMG_JPEG' about pdftotext

[arathra]

Can I ask if you made any progress with this? We're having exactly the same problem

PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant IMG_JPEG - assumed 'IMG_JPEG' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)

I'm sure it can't just be the 2 of us!

Hi Arathra- No sorry I didn't, and gave up on it.

I was trying to create forms in pdf for a client - then read the data out. I found PDFFiller instead and am using that. It will export the fields into an excel format for you.

Thanks for getting back to me, Phil. Shame about that; I guess that means we'll be looking for an alternative as well. We need to "read" users' PDF uploads so while PDFFiller isn't for us, I'm sure something out there will work.

All the best.

Hi Phil,

It took a bloody long time but I think I have solved it by using a different PDF converter here: https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/ along with vendor/autoload.php

It works for me and doesn't produce any errors.

Cheers

That’s great news Christian, and thanks for letting me know. I’ll have a look at that Regards Phil Jones From: arathra <[email protected]> Sent: 29 October 2020 18:00 To: christian-vigh-phpclasses/PdfToText <[email protected]> Cc: Phil Jones <[email protected]>; Author <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [christian-vigh-phpclasses/PdfToText] Error of 'Undefined Constant 'IMG_JPEG' (#38) Hi Phil, It took a bloody long time but I think I have solved it by using a different PDF converter here: https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/ along with vendor/autoload.php It works for me and doesn't produce any errors.
