  • Converting PDF back to text.

    I have been assigned the task to find the best way (if there is one) to convert a PDF file back to a text file so the file can be read on the iSeries. Don't ask why as I just started as a contractor and this is what they want to do. I can open the file in Adobe and save it as a text file. This is not acceptable as they want this automated. The PDF files are on the IFS drive.
    Questions:
    Has anyone done this before?
    Is there a API to read PDF files from within RPGLE?
    Can it be done?
    Someone here said that they thought FTP might do the conversion, that sounds strange to me.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin
