PDF to Text conversion

[Chen, Lingjiao]

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to use IText to convert a PDF into Text (.doc). Thanks in advanced.

In a word, no. iText doesn't generate .doc files nor does it offer text extraction from PDF files. For info on the latter point, see the iText book, p. 576.

By the way: in the next release newPage won't throw
a DocumentException. I also cleaned up the DocListener
interface.
