That's true. I'd like to suggest to study some open source APIs (iTextSharp) and PDF SDK.

You can start by reading the PDF specification (warning 32MB behind this link) in order to understand how the PDF file format is implemented. This is necessary if you want to be able to parse it and extract the information you are interested in.

In the meantime (as this reading might occupy you during a certain amount of time) if you have pressing project deadlines you probably want to use an existing library such as iTextSharp.
