Does Aspose support text extraction from PDF files?

[dgoldenberg]

Folks,

I have looked at the Aspose.PDF API and I do not see any way to extract text from a PDF file. Am I just looking in the wrong place? I see the Pdf object but no way to get anything out of it.

I need to be able to:
a. extract textual content from PDF
b. extract metadata from PDF (standard and any custom fields)
c. support for I18N is required, most importantly German, Chinese, Japanse, Korean, as well as Hebrew and Arabic.
d. support for encrypted PDF's (assuming passwords are provided)
e. support for very large PDF's (e.g. 2 GB)

Please let me know.
Thanks.
- Dmitry
