Since this question was last answered in 2008, iTextSharp has improved their api dramatically. If you download the latest version of their api from http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/, you can use the following snippet of code to extract all text from a pdf into a string.

iTextSharp is the best bet. Used it to make a spider for lucene.Net so that it could crawl PDF.

PDFClown might help but I would not recommend it for a big or heavy use application.

iText is the best library I know. Originally written in Java, there is a .NET port as well.

You could look into this:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/showcase/pdfrasterizer.aspxIt's not completely free, but it looks very nice.

Divergent full book free. About Veronica Roth:Veronica Roth was born on 19 th August, 1988. The novel has been compared to other young adult books such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner because of its similar themes and target audience. The novel probes placement of authority and identity within the youth’s relationship to parents and other social forces. She is an American novelist and short story writer known for her debut New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy, consisting of Divergent, and and four: A divergent collection. The novel explores the themes common to young adult fiction, such as adult authority and the transition from childhood to maturity, as well as such broader motifs as the place of violence and social structures within a post apocalyptic society.

Have a look at Docotic.Pdf library. It does not require you to make source code of your application open (like iTextSharp with viral AGPL 3 license, for example).

Docotic.Pdf can be used to read PDF files and extract text with or without formatting. Please have a look at the sample that shows how to extract text from PDFs.
