How easy is it to open a PDF and read the text from it?

We want to write some software to import the text from one.

Any libraries please?

There may be librarys/APIs available that would allow you to do that but
they wouldn't be written for VO.

Have you visited the ADOBE site to see what's available there for
developers.

There's a free PDF reader with source (probably 'C/C++' or Delphi) available
on sourceforge, not sure if contains what you need though. May even be more
than one.

Have a loook on knowvo for MDReport/MDPDF you might be able to adapt some of
that code.
MDPDF is what we used to create PDFs with Report Pro (I wrote wrappers for
both RP and MDPDF).

CYA
Steve
