[RESOLVED] Advice on reading tabular data from PDF format.

[JayJayson]

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:

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
