the best way to count words in PDF files in .net ?

i am currently using microsoft Interop.Dsofile.dll to count words in office word doc and docx files
and also the methods from Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll is handy and can be another solution.

what about PDF files? is there any free or commercial API ,DLL , component or any solution to count words ,paragraphs and lines in pdf files ?

thanks

A: 

iTextSharp (http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/) has a robust API for manipulating pdf's.

But does it let you count words, paragraphs and lines in PDF files? I think you'll find the answer is... no.

I think that the itextsharp is not capable of counting, but not sure yet
