There is a C# library called SharpPDF and I think one called iTextSharp . iTextSharp can be used to read a pdf file PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(In.PDF); Then extract the images not sure about how to do the text but it should point you in the right direction: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=530736 -Mike
