This is exactly what I needed. Subscribed – thank you.

great video got to learn a lot, am working on a similar project to extract words from pdf to fill the form automatically for eg: a resume. I would love to hear your expertise on this

what about not losing the text(pdf) formating?

Can I extract the text on the front end?

Thanks for such detailed tutorial, very helpful. I have a question, what if in the displayed result in the text box I want to bold the first 2-3 letters of each word or if a word is longer like maybe 10 letters then maybe turn first 4-5 letters bold? Please let me know how can I do that. I have tried googling it a lot. Thanks
