How To Read PDFS in OCR C#

In this tutorial, you'll discover how to extract text from PDF documents using IronOCR in C#. First, ensure your environment is set up with IronOCR and the necessary namespaces, including installing the Iron package via NuGet and setting up a license key. The tutorial begins with initializing IronOCR, the OCR engine, to read a PDF document such as 'IronPDF.pdf.' By instantiating an OCR PDF input object, you can extract text from the entire PDF, which is then printed to the console.

Advanced scenarios include extracting text from specific pages by specifying page indices or from specific areas like forms or tables by defining rectangle objects to represent these regions. This flexibility allows you to manage PDF data programmatically, whether it's an entire document, specific pages, or defined regions.

The tutorial concludes by demonstrating the power of IronOCR in managing PDF data and encourages viewers to sign up for a trial on the Iron Software website to experience the software firsthand. By following the steps outlined, users can efficiently extract text from PDF documents, making IronOCR a powerful tool for developers.
