You can parse the pdf to text first using Ghostscript.

gswin32c.exe -q -dNODISPLAY -dSAFER -dDELAYBIND -dWRITESYSTEMDICT -dSIMPLE -c save -f ps2ascii.ps "test.pdf" -c quit >"test.txt"

After you have the text of the pdf you can write additional validations in your tests. There are also other alternatives of the pdf to text functionality.

You can read the full code in code project - http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12445/Converting-PDF-to-Text-in-C
