Beginner questions / Read PDF text with PDFio

Last post by jos - January 01, 2026, 04:22:38 PM

New year new opportunities!

Found PDF-lib in https://www.msweet.org/pdfio/

Want to be able to read text from a PDF. Have tried lots of settings and options without success. It says it should work with C99? But what is POSIX-compliant?

Can someone give me a push in the right direction to move forward on how and try to get it working.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Did you visit the Downloads section of the forum?

https://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?board=26.0

Yes, but don't you think that a link to wayback machine for the last release is alarming? 
Would be so unacceptable to host PellesC Releases on this board?

Agree with you!
I really hope that Pelle can continue to develop his tool or hand it over to someone else, why not to this group?

Hi alderman2,

Pelle is continuing the development of the Pelles C toolset. We must keep in mind that maintaining Pelles C is not an easy job and Pelle needs time.

I agree with you, but there's still a problem.
If there's no official website for the tool, people will assume it's abandonware anyway. Furthermore, no new users will join the community. Who would surf the web to find a copy of the tool without developing negative feelings about it? What antivirus or software site would review it? And who would even download a virtually unknown tool onto their system?
In my opinion, this forum could be the "official" site, also hosting the tool's download.
That way, it would regain its reputation.

Is it just Pelle's website that is down or is Pelle himself unavailable again?

You might have to start thinking about the future if Pelles C is no longer being developed. Which C tool after Pelles C is almost as good to use?
