Step 1: Initialize Parser

First, create an instance of the Parser class by providing the path to your sample document file.

using (Parser parser = new Parser("YourSampleFile.pdf"))
{
    // Your code here
}

Step 2: Retrieve Document Info

Retrieve information about the document using GetDocumentInfo() method.

IDocumentInfo documentInfo = parser.GetDocumentInfo();

Step 3: Iterate Over Pages and Extract Text

Iterate through each page of the document and extract text content.

for (int p = 0; p < documentInfo.RawPageCount; p++)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Page {p + 1}/{documentInfo.RawPageCount}");
    // Extract text from the page
    using (TextReader reader = parser.GetText(p, new TextOptions(true)))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd());
    }
}
