I need to be able to search a PDF for about 200 different reference numbers that I know to return a value I do not know. Examples of the reference numbers: • ABC-12-012 • ABC-012-86 • ABC-0512-10 Where the reference number will always: • Be at the beginning of a line • Follow the word 'References:' • Start with ABC- • Between each hyphen could be varied counts of numeric characters. The data that I need is actually several lines above the 'Reference'.
It is a series of dotted numbers followed by a description. It resembles '9.8.1 Appendix A' but could just as easily be '9.1 Appendix D' or '9.2.8.63.4 Appendix C'. Also, in case it matters, the known reference may not show up in every.PDF. Thanks for any help on this! Sample Text: ________________________________ 9.8.1 Appendix A Description: This is where a description would be. There could be another header as well.

Additional Information: One or more additional sections may exist between the 9.8.1 Appendix A (which is the text I need) and the ABC-0012-083 which is what I know to search for. References: ABC-0012-083 9.8.2 Addendum 9 Description: This is where a description would be.

Extracted and added them to the C: Scripts directory. Added my PDF to the same directory, and even named it test.pdf to keep the script as close to original as possible. Opened powershell and powershell ISE as administrator created and ran the script you provided, and got the error below.
Ah, I'd forgotten about this error. Run this command and you should be all set (assumes you're running PowerShell 3.0 or later, for the Unblock-File cmdlet): Unblock-File -Path C: Scripts PdfToText iTextSharp.dll That 'Operation is not supported' error pops up when you try to load an assembly that's still flagged as having been downloaded. David, is there any down side to unblocking on every use? Or perhaps a way to query if it needs unblocking? My customers are constantly bombarded with downloaded patch files and such, and just adding this to automatically unblock everything behind the scenes would be sweet. Assuming it works the same for EXEs, MSIs, MSPs, etc. EDIT: Dang, just caught the PS3 ref.
