i've stumbled upon PDF.js a while ago because i was looking for js tool that allows me to extract data from pdfs... sadly i'm still looking for a good lib to do just that.

iText has a lot of tools for extracting info from PDFs. We use it extensively.

I have used iText(sharp) for several years. It works very well.

Yeah we use the C# version as well, I've done some hacking on a Clojure wrapper around the java version. it's nontrivial :P
