Do you already know how to read a pdf file? how the format, and so on?

I'd imagine you'd have to use some external pdf library which integrates with c# to convert the file into plain text.

Once that's done, you would just write a program as normal.

The PDF format is exceedingly complex, and Adobe's developer tools are buggy and virtually unsupported. I would look at a 3rd party tool set such as those provided by PDF Tools AG . They are COM objects, so you'll need to create a COM wrapper.

I've also had partial success automating Acrobat's "search" function. However, Acrobat is not .NET compatible.

Yes, I agree with iamthwee and tgreer. That's why I'm asking you whether you already know how to read the pdf file or not. Since it's a big obstacle to solve first, before goes into your main destination :)
