pdf to .MAT convertion

How to convert pdf file to .mat file?

[Walter Roberson]

What kind of information were you hoping to extract from the PDF ?

Answer 1

[Daniel Shub]

You can't. Well you might be able to load it as an image, bitmap it, and then save it as a .mat file. Dare I ask what you are trying to do?

[Walter Roberson]

Maybe they want to extract the text. Maybe the PDF happens to contain an image of a graph and they want to import the graph and analyze it to figure out the data points ?

Answer 2

[Reginaldo Nunes]

I need to extract text from PDF file to MATLAB. Is it possible?

[Walter Roberson]

Text Analytics Toolbox can do some of that. I do not know how reliable it is, or whether (for example) it can handle tables or separate columns of text.
