Hello Yui,

We use an executable called pdftotext.exe to extract text from pdf's.

You can find it here: -> http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html

Although we use it from the command line, I'd guess that it can be used 
satisfactorily with exec() within a PHP script, also.

RE: [PHP-DB] retrieve text from pdf



Are you looking for the text of the document or the data from forms 
embedded 
in the PDF?

For the latter you can use the FDFToolkit from adobe.
