Yes, it's possible. Just read the file and extract the information you want.

The file format is publicly available from Adobe.

Depending on whether the file format is binary or textual, you can use a
BinaryReader or StreamReader to read it.

Göran is being slightly tongue-in-cheek here...

I've already told you how to extract data from a PDF file by using the
Aspose PDF component - that's what it's for...

If you don't want to do that, then that's your choice.

However, as Göran says, you will then have to obtain a copy of the PDF file
format from Adobe.

There are various versions of the PDF file format, all of which are
different.

Then you will have to write your own routines for opening a PDF file,
working out which version it is, and then separating all the various
individual parts until you find what you're looking for.

That's what Aspose did...

Of course, they have a large team of developers.

It might take you a month or even longer, depending on your skill level.

Alternatively, just use the Aspose component...

there is no simple code to read a pdf file.

a pdf file is a actually a program written in postscript. to read the
file you write a postscript interpreter (its a pretty simple stack
machine, but has a large graphics library). there is some data around
the postscript program, but its simple to parse out the program. you
them run the program thru the interpreter you write to build the pages.

Yes I know - that's why I use a 3rd-party component...
