Re: [dcphp-dev] counting words in .docx and pdf files

Another option would be to use Tika to extract the text and then count it. Tika is a Java application you can directly invoke the JAR file -- see http://tika.apache.org/0.7/gettingstarted.html for more details. Basically you can call it passing the URL of the document and it returns an output of the decoded text.

A .docx is just a zipped up set of XML documents, so if you unzip it and look at `word/document.xml` you might be able to parse out what you need.

For the PDFs, you might look into using XPDF (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). You'd have to compile xpdf for the environment it will be running on, but then you could just use system() or any similar function to read the PDF. At that point you can use the code below. For a similar example of how to do this, take a look at the "PDF Indexer" extension for Joomla!.

I'm not really sure about docx; I've never had to work with that format. Hopefully this helps get you halfway there, though.
