Hi,

I'm working on a tool to do text indexing on documents and want to include
support to index PDF files as well.
Does anyone know any tool or method of extracting the text from PDF files
into a .NET app?

Thanks,

Rukmal.
 
Hi.

There is a tool in the net pdf2txt.
You can use that if you like but unfortunately I don´t remember the address!

On the other hand it is perhaps wiser to use the IFilter from the Indexing Service.
Look in the msdn for more information. Or just use google.
(IFilter, LoadIFilter, ...)

The pdf filter can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/support/salesdocs/fa82.htm
