How to reference a .NET assembly

Hello Helen/Robert,
many thanks for your replies.
Unfortunately I could not make it work like Helen suggested - no matter where the files are and how they are referenced, I can not see the classes.
After some futile search on the net, I decided to build my own PDFBox library .NET. I did it with latest available PDFBox 1.6.0 and IKVM 0.46.0.1. Now when referencing the .dll in CLR bridge, I can see all classes and, can instantiate objects and call mehods.This could point in the direction that Robert was mentioning - that version 0.7.3 is not compatible with current version of Test Complete
Now, everything seems to work, I can call the methods described in the other thread, except that my stripped text is not a plain text but a consists only of special chars (see attached image). The string length is correct. My first thought was that maybe wrong encoding is causing this, but no matter what encoding is used (UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-xxxx-x) nothing seems to work... Maybe it is a problem within PDFBox?
Do you have any suggestions?
Many thanks for your help, much appreciated.
