Ray, Yes, you need to call an executable called pdftotext. Once the PDF is made into text you can parse that.

My question, is there a perl module that would allow me to open a PDF and parse it for specific information? There are a series of pdf files that are generated weekly. I want to read the file and pull out about 15 lines of text.
