How do I read data from a pdf document using c#

[Craig]

Hi

I'm using c# in visual studio .net and want to extract a line of text
from a pdf document in order to process it for another application.
The part of the document I require is static (ie, it will always be
in
the same 8 characters of the document).


Can anyone tell me how do do this or am I in the wrong group.


Thanks in advance


Craig

Thanks for the reply. Is there no easy way to do this ourselves using
code (I've got the PDF API from the adobe site) as the costs for that
software is a bit out of our price range.

Thanks

That may be a major undertaking depending on how much you want to
extract from the pdf. There are plenty of free libraries for
manipulating pdf files. Try itextsharp.sourceforge.net.
