You can use the datastation with PDF files.  I use it to turn a PDF into text 
and then parse the text file.  I do all my scripting in vb.net and use the 
following sub routine.

Private Sub GetTextFromPdf(ByVal pdfFile As String)
        Dim d As New DataStation

        uxNote.Text = "Get Text from PDF"
        Me.Update()

        d.Open_(pdfFile, enumFileType.ftPage)

        d.Close_()

  End Sub
