Nope. PDF isn't a structured format - extracting structured text is a very, very difficult challenge. If the files all follow a similar format, you may be able to use that knowledge to derive an algorithm that can do it (see the LocationAwareTextExtractionStrategy). There have been other posts about this - search the listserv archives and you'll probably find some other responses I've made to similar questions (I do recall taking the time to outline the strategy that such an algorithm might use).
