Does anyone know of any other tool for PDF text extraction ?

ps2ascii cannot seem to parse all of the pdf file. I tried the pstotext
tool to, but with same result.
I figured that it has something to do with my ghostscript version being
too old (7.05, newest is 8.14).

Unfortunally I have no experience in installing/upgrading unix stuff
(having spend half an evening trying in vain and confusion).
