Hmmm..
I have a VB6 Program that opens PDF's counts each word on every page, and
even does a spell check (automating MS Word) insure the word count isnt
wildly inaccurate using Adobe Acrobat InterAppCommunicationSupport. Don't
even ask why we wrote the app. Suffice it to say that the customer is
pleased with the results. The app requires a full version of Acrobat V4
through V7 (although we have done very little testing with Acrobat 7) and
has been pretty reliable.
So I guess the question is what do you mean by "programmatically read the
contents of a .pdf file", and can you afford to insist that your users have
a full copy of Acrobat installed.
