In the film Inception assuming Cobb was successfully able to extract Saito's secrets from the safe how would he bring those papers stamped "confidential" to the reality?

The only way I can think is to memorize each line on that paper, wake up and recite those lines to Cobol Engineering before he forgets.

I can't do much more than confirm what you already assumed, too:

The only way I can think is to memorize each line on that paper, wake up and recite those lines to Cobol Engineering before he forgets.

This indeed seems to be the intended approach. But I don't think you necessarily need to memorize each line, though. Those letters are likely not actual official letters anyway, but most probably rather sketches of his overall ideas and plans, seeing that we're in a dream and this whole documents in a safe concept has a rather metaphorical nature in the first place. It abstracts the detailed intricacies of his plans into a very concrete and broad form. Just learning the key points of his plans should be already be enough information for Cobol Engineering.

Let me elaborate a little more on the overall problem of this question (don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad question). The fact that the movie doesn't really explain how this whole extraction actually works, is to some degree intentional, I think, and goes hand in hand with its whole dream-aspect. All we can assume from this process of reading a letter in Saito's dream-safe is, that Cobb actually steals a thought from Saito. How this actually pans out in reality or how this thought is structued is beyond the purpose of this movie. We are just not supposed to care about the neurological reality of those things. All we know is that Cobb then somehow knows what Saito knows.

By employing this escape into the dream-world, where everything is possible and where very abstract processes are represented by very concrete and tangible items and actions, the movie not only gets to "plausibly" show unusual things, like zero-gravity or stuff appearing out of nowhere, but it also achieves to completely remove the need to give explanations for such abstract processes like stealing a thought or learning things. The sometimes rather lame excuse answers like "it works somehow"/"that's the way it's written"/"the movie doesn't explain" are therefore the exact answers in the context of this movie. Inception achieved to remove any need for plausible explanations without actually being implausible, by employing this whole dream-metaphor, where the most difficult and abstract psychological processes are as easy as reading a letter or giving a windmill to a child. This transformation of abstract matters into tangible and clear imagery is just part of the movie's very theme.

    @A.Jesin They're not real documents, just the thrust of what Saito is trying to keep hidden. Saito has obviously memorized them, why wouldn't Cobb be able to? – John Smith Optional Jun 12 '14 at 11:55

    @JohnSmithOptional Assume you are a doctor. I'm an extractor with little knowledge on medical science. Would I be able to memorize your patient histories and recollect them accurately in reality? – A.Jesin Jun 12 '14 at 12:04

    I think that is taking this situation out of context, somewhat. Perhaps if Cobb needed to extract incredibly specific medical knowledge, he would take a doctor on his team to digest the information more effectively. He's just trying to find what Cobol's intentions are: the information could be as simple as 'Aggressive acquisition of this company, followed by merger with this company..." We don't know, but we have to assume he knows what he's doing, as he's clearly effective. The target data can't be beyond human recollection, otherwise Saito wouldn't have it in his head... – John Smith Optional Jun 12 '14 at 12:23

    @A.Jesin In addition to what John said, that it isn't about any particular paragraphs, I would add (though he's touched that already, too), that this whole dream concept has a very metaphorical nature, upto the point where all those material objects in the dream actually have a much more "vague" reality. You could thus go as far as interpreting the act of reading a hidden letter from Saito's dream safe as merely stealing a thought from him, which then is in Cobb's mind, however that thought is actually structured. But how this really works is just beyond the movie's imagery/purpose. – Napoleon Wilson♦ Jun 12 '14 at 12:28

    While this might come across as a simple easy-out "we shouldn't care nor udnerstand, it probably works somehow"-escape, this is in fact the correct approach for the concepts of this movie, I think. Not because it's all made up rubbish (well, it is, but nevermind), but because the movie IMHO enforces this approach by employing a kind of imagery in the dreams that gives many deliberately "vague" concepts a very concrete and tangible representation in order to free the viewer from actually reasoning about their workings in reality. In the same way a dream does. – Napoleon Wilson♦ Jun 12 '14 at 13:04
