Draw PDF onto GDI+ Surface

[Richard MSL]

I have a WinForm application. I would like to be able to read a PDF, and draw
it onto the GDI+ drawing surface, along with other commands that I would draw
on the surface, to then print it. This can be done with a WMF file, so one
option is to preconvert the PDF to WMF, but I would to read the PDF directly,
if that is possible? Thanks.

Hi Richard,

I searched in the codeproject web site and found an article introducing a
way to convert PDF to text in C#. You can visit the following link for more
detail:

'Converting PDF to Text in C#'
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/pdf2text.aspx

Hope this is what you want.

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Thanks. I am not sure if that is what I want, on first reading, the article
is about extracting the text from the PDF, I do not want to parse it, I just
want to put it on the graphics page, images and all, so that I can write more
things on top. But I will review the article more closely and see if that is
possible. Thanks again.
