[RESOLVED] Is this possible?

[Trilogen]

Just wonding if its possible to open a pdf file, extract it's contents and store them into a variable?

If so can you point me to the right function or an example.

Thanks.

that doesn't work all I get is jiberish data, I want the actual words inside it.

<?
$contents = @file_get_contents("http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/readme.pdf");
echo $contents;
?>

Not a chance: is the short and simple answer. There are all sorts of functions and utilities for creating PDF files, but none for retrieving the contents.
