linePrinterMode
Set text extraction mode to "line printer".
[read/write property]
linePrinterMode([out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *linePrinter)
linePrinterMode([in] VARIANT_BOOL linePrinter)
Setting this property to true sets the text extraction mode to "line
printer". In line printer mode, text is placed into a grid of
fixed-width, fixed-height cells. This is particularly well suited for
extracting text from PDF files created from line printer-style text,
i.e., with a single monospaced font. By default, XpdfText will attempt
to compute an appropriate character pitch and line spacing, but those
can also be explicitly provided - see
fixedPitch
and
fixedLineSpacing
.
Only one mode, from readingOrderMode
, physicalLayoutMode
,
simpleLayoutMode
, simple2LayoutMode
, tableLayoutMode
,
linePrinterMode
, or rawMode
can be selected.
VB:
pdf.linePrinterMode = True
