## Base64 encoded PDFs

If working with [Base64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64) encoded PDFs you might want to parse the PDF without saving the file on disk. This sample will parse the Base64 encoded PDF and extract text from each page.

```php
<?php
// Include Composer autoloader if not already done.
include "vendor/autoload.php";

// Parse Base64 encoded PDF string and build necessary objects.
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseContent(base64_decode($base64PDF));

$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
```
