3rd party software suggestions.

I am posting this questions here because I am a vb .net programmer that is writing a vb .net program that needs a third party software. I was wondering if anyone here knew of any software that can do the following. I have a PDF with and image of a shipping label. I want to read the hub number from it. My proposed solution: Find 3rd party utility that i can call from my program to read the image and get me the hub number data. But, I have search many hours trying to find a software that has commandline plus use ocr to read image plus be able to red image from a pdf. Any suggestions? Thanks

There is a free OCR project called Tesseract that was done by UNLV in C, and was eventually ported to C++ and they now have a .NET version called Tessnet2. I believe it was also picked up by Google, or soemthing like that. Anyhow, I've not used it myself, but was looking into it a while back. Our project was cancelled, so I never got to play with it :( .
