@matty357 Tried it but not exactly as per my requirement, Is there any other simple way to do this – Shailendra Madda Apr 21 '15 at 15:51
I don't see how this could be done without some sort of library, this is a much simpler solution http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/pdfandroid/Extract+Text+from+PDF+Document – matty357 Apr 21 '15 at 15:53
