PDF format is not natively supported in .NET, so it will be easier if you use a library that support loading PDF format.
Also, if the PDF pages contain images of text and not actual text objects, you will need to perform OCR on them.
You basically have 2 options, either go with free offerings on the web such as iTextSharp for PDF and Tessnet2 for OCR, and try to get them to work together, or use a library that has both PDF and OCR like LeadTools.
