Hi

I just need a help to extract each character from a PDF file. I could extract text from PDF files word by word.

But my specific requirement is to get character by character, their bounding box, font name, font type and font size.

Is there any way to do this using VB.NET and ADOBE SDK ?

If so, can any one help me out on this ?

Many thanks in advance.
