Native C# pdf reader [closed]

Question

I need to extract text from PDF file. I've found iTextSharp and PDFBox, but both of them are only Java ports and to make them work i need to use big additional dlls.

So, my question is: is there some native C# library for extracting text from PDF files? If there is no any, is it hard to write one?

Docotic.Pdf library may be used to extract text from PDF files.

The library has no external dependencies and is written in C#. Docotic.Pdf comes in four editions.
