Question

是否有一个开源库可以帮助我在.Net / C＃中阅读/解析PDF文档？

Answer 1

自从这个问题在2008年被最后一次回答以来，iTextSharp已经大大提高了他们的api。如果从http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/下载最新版本的api，则可以使用以下代码片段将pdf中的所有文本提取为字符串。

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser;

namespace PdfParser
{
    public static class PdfTextExtractor
    {
        public static string pdfText(string path)
        {
            PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(path);
            string text = string.Empty;
            for(int page = 1; page <= reader.NumberOfPages; page++)
            {
                text += PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(reader,page);
            }
            reader.Close();
            return text;
        }   
    }
}

iTextSharp 是最好的选择。用它为lucene.Net制作一个蜘蛛，以便它可以抓取PDF。

using System.IO;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

        /// ET = End of a text object operator
        /// Td move to the start of next line

PDFClown可能有所帮助，但我不建议将其用于大型或重型应用程序。

Answer 4

我过去曾使用ITextSharp来操纵/分割和改进PDF文档 - 它非常简单，也是开源的。

    for (int page = 1; page <= reader2.NumberOfPages; page++)

    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader((string)Filename);
    String s = PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(reader, page, its);

    s = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ASCIIEncoding.Convert(Encoding.Default, Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.Default.GetBytes(s)));
    strText = strText + s;
    reader.Close();
    }
    return strText;
