Hi,

I have to index the text of a pdf document.

Does any of you know of a PHP script/extension or a binary that is able
to extract the text ?

The pdf extension mentioned in the php.net docs seem to indicate that
it's for _creation_ of documents only, is that so? Same with all the
PHP classes i have found.

Regards,
Johnny
