Hi For reading PDF files its better to use PDFBox .Net version [ as it is Open Source ] Its open source. you can download from http://www.ikvm.net/download.html After getting downloaded just include the dlls provided. Use the code as like give below to read the pdf file. private static string parseUsingPDFBox(string inputFile) { PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(inputFile); PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(); return stripper.getText(doc); }

Hi As the questions and answers are in image in pdf its long process to read the pdf as text. I guess its possible. First we have to convert the pdf to word  from word we have to take images and convert it again to text.
