Extracting data from PDF files -

Hi guys,

Im trying to extract predominately table data from a PDF file, however, I would also like the option to extract image files (such as graphs, etc) as well.

Is it possible to extract data from PDF files using a VB.Net application? Im trying to get this process as automated as possible, so Im trying not to use 3rd party applications such as pdf file convertors or in-line pdf readers.

Are there any free, or relatively cheap PDF data capture API's/code snipets that I can use to import data from a PDF file?

Another option is to export PDF data/images into an excel spreadsheet. Is there a .Net tool that will allow this?

Cheers
