You can't spy the contents of a PDF or image in the normal sense because there are no elements to spy. All you can do is use Surface Automation techniques to create virtual images (regions) that you read via OCR. However OCR is not a perfect mechanism and it can make mistakes - this possibility has to be acknowledged and somehow managed to make your automated solution viable. If the PDF is digitised then there is a chance you could parse the text within to reach the information you want without having to resort to SA and OCR.
