How to convert from PDF files to text files from my C# application?

Hello. We have purchased the PDF2TXT COM server version and I have tried to integrate into a website that has a C# backend but none of the .dlls can be used. They throw different errors when I try to add them as references in the project. I also tried to apply what the readme file says about registering the the libraries in Windows, without any luck, getting errors again. I used Visual Studio 2017, tried on both Windows 10 and Windows server 2012 R2.

How do we proceed to make the tool work in our application?

Thank you for your time.

oTest.com_SetTXTFormat 1
oTest.com_SetZoomRatio 90
oTest.com_PDF2TXTSetLicenseCode("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
nRet = oTest.com_Pdf2Txt(strFolder& "\sample1.pdf", strFolder& "\sample1-pdf2txt.txt")
nRet = oTest.com_Pdf2TxtEx(strFolder& "\sample1.pdf", strFolder& "\sample1-pdf2txtEx.txt",0,0,"","")

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string appPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
            string strPDFFile = appPath + "\\sample1.pdf";

                           System.Activator.CreateInstance(VeryPDFType);
