Unable to find and read text from PDF document.

I'm attempting to read a pdf document into a string container so that I can use regex to find certain strings in it.

I've used the following example from your examples page


//Load an existing PDF.

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(fileName);

//Load the first page.

PdfPageBase page = loadedDocument.Pages[0];

//Extract text from first page.

string extractedText = page.ExtractText();

However, after reading the pdf file, the object produced by Visual Studio has timed out for some its properties.
see attached VS object view.
I'm therefore not able to reference the Pages collections

I've tested this on a number of PDF documents including one with a single sentence in it "Hello world."

All experienced the same behaviour

Can you provide assistance on this matter ?

Josef
