Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have just recently been
experimenting with parsing the text data from a PDF document
using iTextSharp in a VB2010 app. the document doesn't contain

articles and used some code snippets and it looks promising.
However, what Ive been trying to do is just parse out the body
of each page, minus a header or footer. I haven't found any
guidance for that particular function.  Currently using the
snippet found here Reading PDF content with itextsharp dll in

a way to just get the body. Or at least I hope so.
