Hey guys,

Here's one for you all...has anyone ever read text from a PDF file, using ASP.NET?

I know PDF isn't the same as CSV, XLS, etc (ahem...understatement!), but has it ever been done, or should I just give up now?

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

B

I haven't tried this myself yet, but we are looking into using something like this ourselves for some simple PDF indexing.

Hope it helps

If you want indexing only, you can use Adobe's IFilter plugin for index server.
