I am building an e-sign app with Laravel. It uploads a pdf file and read it to find a special string pattern like ##sign##. I do not know how to do this with PHP. It will be very helpful if anyone can help me in terms of Laravel.

Maybe you should have a look at this: [Read pdf files with php](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1004478/read-pdf-files-with-php) – flomei May 02 '16 at 08:46

You could use one of the PDF libraries to read the data and use regex functions to find and replace content with PHP. Or even simple str_reaplce could do the trick:
str_replace ('##sign##', 'Replace ##sign## with this', $content);
