Search text in pdf

Question

can someone tell me if AcrobatAccessLib (Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library) in com references can be used for text searching in pdf document? It contains class PDDom, but I dont know if I can load document into it or, how to work with it.

(I dont wanna use iTextSharp, and others, I tryied it but not works as I wanted - pdf has corrupted number paging + contains tables, that are across 2 pages - iTextSharp finds me searching text on both pages - instead of 1, but if I use Acrobat Reader - it works well)

EDIT: Or another question, Can I use acrobat reader and its searching module in my application?

I am working in c#

Thanks a lot!

Try to use PDFLIBNET.DLL

from that content u will search the pdf content..

am using tat DLL and searching the pdf content with out any issue..

If money is not an issue, I would by the Aspose PDF components. They work pretty well and are built for server usage.
