TextAtAnyCost
=============

[](#textatanycost)

Old PHP scripts to read text content from different binary formats:

- DOC/PPT (using self-written CFB basic module)
- PDF
- RTF

As a bonus I included two modules to work with RAR archives without any additional extensions or programs:

- read file list
- create RAR archive without any compression or encryption
