Thanks for the reference

While this tool can probably do the job, it is kind of big. It is 22.8 MB. Basically, it is like that because it does more than just this need. Which will result in turn to be much bigger and more complicated than what we have right now. We use VeryPDF, which consists of only dropping a few files in a directory and executing a file in it with the required parameters to do the conversion.

If it is not already included in the .NET Framework, maybe the next one will expose some classes that will allow us at least to extract the content of a PDF.
