      If you dont want to use any 3rd party like iTextSharp. Then create your own library is only option left. Or someone here knows a way may shed a light !!

        If you don't want to use any 3rd party functionality beyond what's available for you in the .NET framework, you are going to have to write code that will translate the .PDF file format. This is far from easy to do, and will require you to spend a lot of time writing code that others have already written and tested. If your requirement is just that you don't want to use a paid component, I would recommend iTextSharp[^]. It's free, and allows you to read PDFs (well, that's slightly incorrect - you can't directly read PDF data and assume it's correct because a PDF is just a canvas that has text and graphics placed on it, so it has no real structure to it).

          If you want to access PDF data without recourse to a third-party library then you need to start at the Adobe Development Centre[^], and learn how to use their tools. Or, you can download the PDF specification document and figure out how to do it directly with your own code. This may be easy or difficult depending on your skill level.
