Hi,
You didn't mention what type of API you are going to use. However, I would suggest the below 2 PDF Libraries for your problem.

https://pdfbox.apache.org/[^]

http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/[^]

I have achieved the same functionality (text extraction), in my past using the first one. The basic tutorial is here:

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
