How do I read the content of a PDF file?<br />
<br />
I receive more than 100 PDF files daily and I need to read the content of these PDFfiles in order to identify some references. The references obtained from PDF files, are used to access important information stored in a SQL DB.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have 3 possible environments in which I need to access the PDF content:<br />
1.- On unix (solaris) using Progress Software <br />
2.- On Windows using Progress Software for windows<br />
3.- On windows using .NET (C# or VB)<br />
<br />
Thank You<br />
