Sivakatirswami, If all you are after is the text within the PDF, you can do it A LOT faster by rendering the PDF as a Text file. Note this may not work well for PDFs that have vasts amounts of images spread throughout.
I know you're on OS X, so as long as you have 10.4 or later go here and get PDF2RTFDService, it's free: http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/services.html Install it in your ~/Library/Services folder You may need to log out and log back in. Then in Rev: use the launch command to force the pdf file to open with TextEdit then use 'do' to run this AppleScript: tell application "TextEdit" set tText to the text of document 1 end tell If you drag and drop the PDF onto TextEdit and it renders nicely, then the above should do OK at extracting the text word perfect. On the other hand, if TextEdit has trouble rendering a PDF with lots of images, and gets all the columns mixed up, then the above wont work for you.
