Extract PDF string?

HI, I got an PDF with a number of pages.
Each page has a table with the same format of data.
Are there any method of component to extract the data(string) from the
pdf?

Thanks for any advise.

AFAIK, you cannot parse a PDF document like an XML document.

However, you can take a look at iText.NET or iTextSharp - it's a free PDF
component for .NET:
