The easiest way is to use a data provider's comma-delimited files. You would simply have the program read the data into the program and use it from there. How to do that is dependent on the programming language, but there would be a method/procedure out there on the Interwebs to show you how to do it. Parsing a pdf file is a whole other ballgame, and if you're paying a data provider just go with the simplest file structure.

Most people will agree that HDW provides the best data, but the most popular is probably the Bris single-file format.
