As noted earlier, none of this helps if the PDF is just a big image.

The PDF referenced below is an image exported from Xara Xtreme Pro (graphics 
software for Windows), and every test I can run on it indicates is a big image 
file; >no native text to copy.

I don't run Adobe reader, it may have some added specialization (e.g. OCR) to 
allow text to be copied.

I have some instructions on a work system that will take a pdf image, convert 
it to tiff then ocr the result to a txt file.
We had a large number of documents that they wanted as text.

I'll try to remember to post the steps and script I used on Thursday.
