Support us ---------- [](#support-us) We invest a lot of time and give our hearts to work in [Open Source](https://hubio.sk). Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require hub-io/laravel-pdf-to ``` You can publish the config file with: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-pdf-to-config" ``` This is the content of the published config file: ``` return [ /** * Set the pdftotext binary path manually */ 'pdftotext_bin' => env('PDF_TO_TEXT_PATH'), /** * Set the pdftohtml binary path manually */ 'pdftohtml_bin' => env('PDF_TO_HTML_PATH'), /** * Set the pdftoppm binary path manually */ 'pdftoppm_bin' => env('PDF_TO_PPM_PATH'), /** * Set the pdftocairo binary path manually */ 'pdftocairo_bin' => env('PDF_TO_CAIRO_PATH'), /** * Set the default output directory */ 'output_dir' => env('PDF_TO_OUTPUT_DIR', storage_path('app/pdf-to')), ]; ``` ### Required Packages [](#required-packages) This package relies on the following external tools: - **pdftotext**: For extracting text from PDFs. - **pdftohtml**: For converting PDFs to HTML. - **pdftoppm**: For generating images from PDFs. Make sure these tools are installed and available in your system's PATH. On macOS, you can install them via Homebrew: ``` brew install poppler ``` ### Binary Files Configuration [](#binary-files-configuration) By default, the package attempts to locate the required binary files (`pdftotext`, `pdftohtml`, `pdftoppm`, or `pdftocairo`) automatically. If these binaries are not found in your system's PATH, you will need to set their paths manually in the configuration file. You can update the configuration file `config/pdf-to.php` as follows: ``` return [ 'pdftotext_bin' => env('PDF_TO_TEXT_PATH'), 'pdftohtml_bin' => env('PDF_TO_HTML_PATH'), 'pdftoppm_bin' => env('PDF_TO_PPM_PATH'), 'pdftocairo_bin' => env('PDF_TO_CAIRO_PATH'), ]; ``` ### Alternative Libraries [](#alternative-libraries) For text extraction, this package uses the [Spatie/pdf-to-text](https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-text). However, if you don't have `pdftoppm` or `pdftocairo` installed, you can also use the [Spatie/pdf-to-image](https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-image) for image generation. This provides a fallback mechanism to ensure functionality even without the required binaries. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Extract Text from PDF [](#extract-text-from-pdf) ``` use Hubio\LaravelPdfTo\Facades\LaravelPdfTo; $text = LaravelPdfTo::setFile('path/to/your/file.pdf') ->setTimeout(120) // optionally ->result('txt'); echo $text; ``` ### Convert PDF to HTML [](#convert-pdf-to-html) ``` use Hubio\LaravelPdfTo\Facades\LaravelPdfTo; $html = LaravelPdfTo::setFile('path/to/your/file.pdf') ->setConfig(['options' => [...]]) // optionally ->saveAs('output-file') // optionally, if you wan to store as file, then result returns path ->result('html'); echo $html; ``` ### Convert PDF to Images [](#convert-pdf-to-images) ``` use Hubio\LaravelPdfTo\Facades\LaravelPdfTo; $image = LaravelPdfTo::setFile('path/to/your/file.pdf') ->setTimeout(180) // optionally ->result('png'); echo $image; // Path to the generated image ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) To run the tests, use the following command: ``` composer test ``` The tests include functionality for extracting text, converting to HTML, and generating images from PDFs. Example test files are located in the `tests/` directory. Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
