Answer

pdftext is a .exe file located in your system. Find the path of this file and
then put path like this and pass it to getText method like this

$path = 'c:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin/pdftotext';
echo Pdf::getText('simple.pdf', $path);

I hope it’ll help you

Note: $path this should be your path of pdftext.exe file
