page.ExtractText is missing

[replaysMike]

Hello,

I recently updated SpirePDF and I noticed there is no page.ExtractText() anymore.

Where did it move to? Docs don't appear to be updated, and I'm not finding anything obvious that replaced it.

...and I found it right after posting.

Code: Select all

var text = page.ExtractText(searchOptions);


is now:

Code: Select all

var extractor = new PdfTextExtractor(page);
var text = extractor.ExtractText(searchOptions);


Probably should update the tutorials to the new interfaces: https://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials/Spire.PDF/Spire.PDF-Program-Guide/Extract/Read/Extract-Text-from-PDF-Document-using-SimpleTextExtractionStrategy.html

Hi,

Thanks for your messages.
For the function of extracting text, we have made adjusted to use PdfTextExtractor object to achieve. You can refer to the new help document through the following link:

For the old method, it has been abandoned and the relevant help document you mentioned will be deleted.
