How do I reference the PDF IFilter (dll) interface built into Windows to extract text and properties of a pdf document via Classic ASP

I want to extract text and properties (author, title, etc.) of PDF file.

I need to extract and parse Text from a pdf file in a classic ASP environment. I read another post about using the PDF iFilter driver installed with Adobe Acrobat 9 which can be referenced through COM.

Is this possible? If so, how do I get started?

If you know the COM class name or clsid, you should be able to use Server.CreateObject() to get an instance. You should then be able to call IFilter methods on it.
