Right now, we are using a very primitive PDFToTXT product from http://www.verypdf.com, which has been abandoned and taken over by another party which doesn't show any intention of offering technical support. As a matter of fact, the new site shows "Live Chat Offline", yes, you read that well "Live Chat Offline".

This utility converts to TXT and then we apply all kinds of logic to parse whatever we need. Of course, we have problems with French characters sometimes as it only converts them at 75%. It seems their 2007 version has not been updated for new PDF format. Also, we end up with page markers and weird characters in the parsing and this makes our work very difficult to obtain a clean parsing of the data we want.

So, is there a .NET PDF reader DLL we can have where we would be able to obtain a more advanced way of extracting the fields we want. As, I assume a PDF much have field names hidden. So, with a more advanced utility, I assume we could just use the PDF field name and obtain the value as is.
