Re: reading data from pdf
Have a look at iTextSharp library and see what it can or cannot do. It's a free .Net library ported from iText to C# and in my opinion, it's a very good library for creating and manipulating pdf files... It does have its weaknesses though, and there are many things that it simply cannot do. There are also many other libraries and SKD's, some are free but most will cost you big $$$... Pdf manipulation is not an easy task, and regardless of what software package you use to manipulate a pdf file, you will need to be very familiar with the Adobe Pdf Reference. That is, you need to know the file format, and how it works.
