Extract text from PDF without opening PDF in window C#

Hello,

I'm creating a application for searching text in PDF's. I found some code wich uses the SDK from Acrobat (Installed on my system). But all the snippets I find seem to open a PDF window and then extract the text. Is it possible to extract the text without openening this window. I think this would increase the search time since I need te search a lot of files. And I just need a list with the file name and page number where the search string is found.

AcroAVDoc avDoc = (AcroAVDoc)gAppClass.GetInterface("Acrobat.AcroAVDoc");

Then I use the javascript obects to acces the "getPageNumWords" and "getPageNthWord" in a loop and putting the word in a string.

Thanks in advance fore the help.

I didn't want to put the entire code here because it's easely found all over the web

Thanks in advance for your help.

avDoc.Open(System.IO.
