I had to solve this Problem myself recently. I have found a piece of c-code (http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/ExtractPDFText.asp, thanks to the author Shar136) and adapted it to java.
As I wrote in the comments on that article - this solution will fail (miserably in many cases) on a LOT of PDF documents out there...
This is NOT the right way to do text extraction from PDF. If you want to do it - use a library that supports it properly like pdfBox, JPEDAL or Multivalent.
