Hi Michael,
   The PDF specification is here:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

AS3 is perfectly capable of reading it and pulling it apart via the
ByteArray class, although you'd have to write the code to do that.

However, you would need to load the entire PDF into the AS3 app to do so.

If this is a web client application, I'd recommend doing the parsing
serverside - there are a number of libraries for various server-side
languages for reading PDF data.

Then it doesn't matter if you're using AS2 or AS3.

HTH,
   Ian
