What besides OCR can pull text from an image? Just a keyword to help my search maybe, but also I'm curious as to how else it is possible...

No, OCR is not the only option. There's a shareware tool I found a few
months back on Download.com that can do this (export to text, I mean). I'll
see if I can find the name of it. In the meantime, search their site on pdf
and see what you find.

Yes, I just tried it and get a blank .txt. It looks like one of those pdf's
where someone scanned a page, little Xerox like artifacts and the like.
Text selection tool doesn't grab anything either. I guess OCR would be the
only option.
