In this hands-on tutorial, you’ll learn how to extract text from PDF files in C# using IronOCR, a powerful .NET OCR library. The walkthrough begins with setting up IronOCR and initializing the OCR engine using your license key. You’ll see how to extract text from an entire PDF document, then refine the process to read only specific pages using indexed page ranges. For more precision, the tutorial demonstrates region-based text extraction using Rectangle objects—perfect for extracting content from forms, tables, or designated areas on each page. IronOCR provides flexibility and precision in parsing scanned or image-based PDFs, making it an essential tool for automating document processing, data extraction, and PDF analysis in C#. With clear code examples and console output, this video helps developers get started quickly with practical OCR implementations. Try it for yourself by downloading the IronOCR trial and integrating PDF OCR into your own C# applications.
