Hi guys,
I am working on a small project where I need to read some text from PDF files. After some googling I tried iTextSharp which can extract the text but states that it is not possible to read tabular data. I understand the why but wonder if there is a library anybody has used that is able to.
Here is an example of the layout of the PDF:
Attachment 99119
With iTextSharp the text is read line by line ignoring the column break between.
Has anybody come across a (preferably free) library that is able to read text from sections so that I can grab the text from the left "column" and then the text from the right?
Thanks
Jay
