    I will start this discussion knowing that it is not really meant for the lounge entirely but it seems easier as to the objective I have :-). I thought to raise a question but I know full well that if your wording is not right or it is not really a question you might just get burned by the unholy flames some of CP question master will call down on your pathetic attempt at a question :~ So my question is as follows, is there at all an easier way to get the values to display that Acrobat reader puts as value holders in a pdf? I got this project that has already all the coded values in the pdf but of course I am not 100% sure where exactly the values are, so without a legal copy of Acrobat reader I am unable to see the coded value holders of each item. Has anyone by any chance have a way around this or know what I can google for without getting useless results like this[‹ ]?

        You could also try here Adobe forum[^] To answer your question directly - I would suggest looking into ITextSharp, it should allow you to analyse the contents of PDFs.

                Google is failing in the question as the phrasing is difficult so the results does not always make sense, but I think I found the correct lingo to use, like XMP and MetaData :-\

                  Most of the time in QA you don;t have to phrase it exactly right - we're pretty good at working out what you want to know. But...if you meet A Certain Person then you need it to be absolutely right, with proper terms, nouns, and sentence structure or it'll get deleted... :sigh:

                        I spent some time having to recreate PDFs in C# if you've ever had to do this you'll understand when I say it nearly drove me loopy. There are quite a few tools out there but a very easy one to pick up is PDF Edit. It'll let you see the values. Link: http://pdfedit.cz/en/index.html[^]
