We are in the process of evaluating some PDF tools. After the testing on your trial versions we have a couple questions:
1)On you website http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.pdf.kit-for-.net/default.aspx about the aspose pdf kit, you say “Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET has been merged into Aspose.Pdf for .NET. The separate Aspose.Pdf.Kit product will be discontinued in October 2011”. but from the downloaded trials they are still separated. The API for extracting text was not found in the Aspose.Pdf trial. My question is: does the current Aspose.pdf for .net include the functionality of extracting text from pdf?
2)In the trial of Aspose.Pdf.Kit, it only extracts several words, among some license statements, at the beginning of every pages. We are yet to see the result of the full extracted text among other objects in a rather complex PDF. Is there a way to make sure we will see all the text in the PDF?
Thank you!

2)In the trial of Aspose.Pdf.Kit, it only extracts several
words, among some license statements, at the beginning of every pages. We are
yet to see the result of the full extracted text among other objects in a
rather complex PDF. Is there a way to make sure we will see all the text in the
PDF?
When using trial version, Aspose.Pdf for .NET has the limitation while extracting text from PDF documents. However in order to fully test our product, you may request a 30 days Temporary license. Please visit the following link for information on how to Get a temporary license
In case you encounter any problem or you have any further query, please feel free to contact. We apologize for your inconvenience.
Now I see the new API for text extraction. And will ask for temp license to test again. Thanks so much!
