--- Comment #3 from Volker Krause <vkra...@kde.org> --- The main challenge with browser-generated PDFs is that line and page breaks don't tend to be stable, resulting in many more variations that need to be handled. That doesn't mean extracting from them is impossible, but you can usually only rely on textual content not the structure or layout of it. For extracting other PDF we tend to use a mix of textual and structural approaches. Metadata beyond that is rare in PDFs (eg. the author/creator fields), we use that e.g. for determining the correct extractor scripts when properly set (which is more efficient than doing that based on the content). The best case are (large) 2D barcodes in PDFs, like found on flight or train tickets, but those should work in PDFs printed from websites already as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
