Step 2: Now the php page will go like this Once you have imported the files to your library then you need to select any pdf file exp menu.pdf, Page will take out the text from the pdf And the code will go like this:-

<?php
$parser = new \installpath\PdfParser\Parser(); //your file location of library 
$pdf    = $parser->parseFile('menu.pdf');  
$result = $pdf->getText();
