Thanks guys... what if I convert it to PS via printing it to a file or something? Would that make it easier to work with?
Not really... The classical PS Drivers (f.e. Acroread4-Unix print-> ps) simply define the pdf graphics and text operators as PS commands and copy the pdf content directly.

I downloaded ghostscript for Win32 and added it to my PATH (C:\gs\gs8.15\lib AND C:\gs\gs8.15\bin). I found that ps2ascii works well on PDF files and it's entirely free.
Usage:
ps2ascii PDF_file.pdf > ASCII_file.txt
However, bundling a 9+ MB package with a 5K script and convincing users to install it is another matter altogether. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
For my purpose, it works fine. I'm searching for certain strings that might be in the document... all I need is a readable file. Layout, fonts and/or presentation is unimportant to me.
