Files Reading from .pdf

[points2008]

Hi,
How do I read a .pdf file using C++? When I try to open it using
myfile.open ("example.pdf"); but all I see is some Crazy Symbols. Is there any way to open ?
Thanks In Advance

You can open it with Adobe Reader. The point of PDFs is that you're not supposed to be able to create or open them without Adobe's software. Otherwise people wouldn't use PDFs because they'd be just another useless format.

Yeah true, but the point is that I'm doing this for my project and I'm not able to get a single idea to figure it out. Is there a way to open it?

Read general article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format
and here you can find official description http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

You can open pdf files or generate them, but to develop such functionality from scratch you need a lot of resources. Here is the list of development libraries:
