title: How to get a particular column value from pdf using itextsharp
body: <p>I have a PDF in which data is displayed in a table. In this table, I have multiple columns, but I want to get particular column values as a list. Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(fileName);
  for (int page = 1; page &lt;= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; page++)
  {
      ITextExtractionStrategy strategy = new LocationTextExtractionStrategy();
      string currentText = PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(pdfReader, page, strategy);
      currentText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ASCIIEncoding.Convert(Encoding.Default, Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.Default.GetBytes(currentText)));
      text.Append(currentText);
  }
  pdfReader.Close();
  return text.ToString();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With this code, I get all of the text of the PDF, but I want a particular column of data. The column name is "Date".</p>
