Hi I need catch information from a PDF,
I already put it at the Sample Data but when I select the data and drop it on the form nothing happens.

How can I map it?

In my project all data will come from a PDF file and I need give it a new mask.

Thanks.

Rodrigo,

Is the PDF actual text, or is it an image inside a PDF (like a scan or a fax)? If it's text it should work fine, but if it's an image, PlanetPress cannot use it as it does not do Optical Character Recognition.

To check this, open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and try to select part of the text, copy it and paste it in a text editor like Word or Notepad. If you cannot copy the text, then PlanetPress won't be able to read it either.
