Hi i am trying to figure out how to use this with laravel 5.
This is what i tried to set the bin location... Still not quite sure with the difference between this two. I tried to point the config location to the location my pdf file is residing.

\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/pdf/');
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/pdf/');

It's still returning null for this:

$pdf = new \Gufy\PdfToHtml\Pdf('testing.pdf');

Can someone share with me what went wrong?

Cheers,
Ralee

These codes :

\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/pdf/');
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/pdf/');

are supposed to determine where you locate pdftohtml binary file. so you should appoint it to the binary file, not the directory.

To find it out, you should use

which pdftohtml
which pdfinfo

then use each of locations and insert to the code above. You got what i mean? 👍

@mgufrone,
thanks for the reply. I have updated installed Poppler-Utils and updated my codes according to

which pdftohtml
which pdfinfo

Like this

\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo');
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdftohtml');
$pdf = new \Gufy\PdfToHtml\Pdf('/home/vagrant/Code/fyp/public/pdf/testing.pdf');

but it returns this error

ErrorException in Pdf.php line 51:
Undefined index: pages

and when i dd($pdf); it returns null

Can you guide me on the right way of calling the pdf file?
Appreciate your help

Cheers
Ralee

I believe you accidentally flip this code

\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo');
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdftohtml');

It suppose to be like this

\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdftohtml');
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo');

Try it again, if it still gives you error, i will check it again.

@mgufrone,
