In what situations would it be more efficient to manually copy and paste text from a PDF file rather than using PHP to extract it?
In some cases, extracting text from a PDF file using PHP may be inefficient due to the complexity of the PDF structure or limitations of the PDF parsing library being used. In such situations, manually copying and pasting the text from the PDF file may be quicker and more reliable.
// Manually copying and pasting text from a PDF file
// Open the PDF file in a PDF reader
// Select the text that needs to be extracted
// Copy the selected text
// Paste the text into a text editor or directly into your PHP code
