Hi Steve,
Did you get this figured out? I was wanting to do the same thing,
reading a PDF as text, but the PODs for the PDF moduals are very shy of
examples or instruction. (Probably written by one of those Un*x Gurus
that seem to think "If you don't know then I'm not going to tell you."
is an acceptibal form of instruction. Has anyone else ever noticed
that? [Before anyone trashes me, I have been a Un*x user since the 80's
and a Linux user at work and on my Mac.])
