Question : Reading PDF summary / meta data from properties: title, keywords, author

Hi Experts,

I was wondering how to read the summary of a PDF document.  If you right-click on a PDF and select properties, navigate to PDF (summary) tab there are 4 fields:  title, subject, author, keywords. How can read this info from a PDF document using VB.Net code?  Perhaps the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Library could be useful?

Thanks

Answer : Reading PDF summary / meta data from properties: title, keywords, author

It is a c# library on sourceforge .net used to construct PDF documents and read the PDF documents. You can use that to read the properties...

Here is how
