Reading PDF file (as a whole or in parts) ASP .NET

[aashutosh01]

Hi mates

I have learnt that PDF file/s can be read using API programming. I need a s/w to read parts of PDF files and then later store them in the database. The PDFs contain pictures as well as text. I tried using the professional converter s/w, but the tend to disturb the format of the text/pictures.

Does anyone has the code? Any help otherwise?

Thanks
