Count the number of words in a file in php?

Question

PHP

Greetings! The task is to make a feature that will count the number of words in files: docx, doc, xls, xlsx, pdf and a few other unimportant formats. So, if I found a solution for the first 4, then with pdf, as it turned out, the trouble was enough. How will it be possible to get only the text using php to count the number of words in a pdf file? You need to get just the text only from the pdf file.
