C# Extract text from PDF using PdfSharp

Question

Is there a possibility to extract plain text from a PDF-File with PdfSharp? I don\'t want to use iTextSharp because of its license.

Answer 1

PDFSharp provides all the tools to extract the text from a PDF. Use the ContentReader class to access the commands within each page and extract the strings from TJ/Tj operators.

I've uploaded a simple implementation to github.
