I am in need of a way to get a PDF to a readable string format so I can search for specific values in the PDF. But from what i've found so far Apex is unable to get the blob value converted into a string.
Is there a way in javascript to do this instead? I am thinking of building a lightning component to process all these blobs for me and export the key data into a csv.
Also considering python if javascript cannot do it. I need some way to turn these blobs into string so I can substring key values.
Update 2022: Sorry, I never updated this till now. I decided to do this via Python script rather than Apex/Lightning.
