Can anyone direct me to some c# code examples for extracting text from a scanned pdf document? I've went through with so many posts, but couldn't find a proper one where i can understand how to do this. Those libraries that were used are not free ones. Some libraries has restrictions like only able to extract first three pages from a pdf document. To extract whole document it asks me to download their full version of the library. So the full version is not for free.
Please direct me how to do this without spending money.

AS you talk about scanned text PDF is irrelevant. You have to search for OCR...
