Reading PDF file to get tabular data in structured format,

I have to read a pdf file which contains a table with several columns. Using iTextSharp I am able to read the file but I get bunch of non-formatted text. I am not able to structure the data so that I can insert into a database.

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • I am concluding there is no straight forward way to do this. Atleast reading the data in tabular format. I tried suggestions provided by Mark, but it is seems to be not feasible as per my requirement.
