在.Net 中阅读 PDF 文档

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

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

There is also LibHaru

http://libharu.org/wiki/Main_Page

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

See http://www.ujihara.jp/iTextdotNET/en/

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/psingh/PDFFileGenerator12062005235236PM/PDFFileGenerator.aspx is open source and may be a good starting point for you.

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

aspose pdf works pretty well. then again, you have to pay for it

public string ReadPdfFile(object Filename, DataTable ReadLibray)
{
PdfReader reader2 = new PdfReader((string)Filename);
string strText = string.Empty;


for (int page = 1; page <= reader2.NumberOfPages; page++)
{
ITextExtractionStrategy its = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.SimpleTextExtractionStrategy();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader((string)Filename);
String s = PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(reader, page, its);


s = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ASCIIEncoding.Convert(Encoding.Default, Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s)));
strText = strText + s;
reader.Close();
}
return strText;
}

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.

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser;


namespace PdfParser
{
public static class PdfTextExtractor
{
public static string pdfText(string path)
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(path);
string text = string.Empty;
for(int page = 1; page <= reader.NumberOfPages; page++)
{
text += PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(reader,page);
}
reader.Close();
return text;
}
}
}

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 article that shows how to extract text from PDFs.

Disclaimer: I work for Bit Miracle, vendor of the library.
