//you have to download ABCpdf.dll
using WebSupergoo.ABCpdf5;

public string GetText(string fileName)
{
Doc pdfDoc = new Doc();
pdfDoc.Read(fileName);

string contents = pdfDoc.GetText("").ToString();
pdfDoc.Dispose();

return contents;
}

If you Bingle on 'c# pdf libraries' you will find lots of useful stuff.

Be warned, though, most of them require lots of work to get the best from them.
