Follow these steps to parse content from EPUB documents in your .NET apps using GroupDocs.Parser:
// Load your document into Parser
using (Parser parser = new Parser("input.epub")) {
// Extract all text content from the file
using (TextReader reader = parser.GetText())
{
// If the text is unavailable, the result will be null
// Use the extracted text in your application
Console.WriteLine(reader == null ?
"Text extraction is unsupported for this format" : reader.ReadToEnd());
}
}
GroupDocs.Parser enables more than just text reading — it supports barcode extraction, image parsing, metadata access, and structured data processing for advanced automation and data analysis.
Extract data including text, images, tables, and fields from document formats like PDF, Word, Excel, HTML, and more.
Parse data from scanned documents and born-digital files alike, with support for OCR and layout-aware extraction.
Adjust parsing logic with flexible options like page range selection, region targeting, and field detection templates.
This example shows how to extract structured data from a PDF using a predefined parsing template with GroupDocs.Parser.
// Load the PDF file with the Parser class
using (Parser parser = new Parser("input.pdf"))
{
// Parse the document by the template
DocumentData data = parser.ParseByTemplate(GetTemplate());
// Check if form extraction is supported
if (data == null)
{
return;
}
// Process obtained fields
for (int i = 0; i < data.Count; i++)
{
Console.Write(data[i].Name + ": ");
PageTextArea area = data[i].PageArea as PageTextArea;
Console.WriteLine(area == null ? "Not a template field" : area.Text);
}
}
private static Template GetTemplate()
{
// Create detector parameters for 'Details' table
TemplateTableParameters detailsTableParameters =
new TemplateTableParameters(new Rectangle(new Point(35, 320), new Size(530, 55)), null);
TemplateItem[] templateItems = new TemplateItem[]
{
new TemplateTable(detailsTableParameters, "details", null)
};
Template template = new Template(templateItems);
return template;
}
