First, thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. I have a
number of possible solutions and a number of paths to pursue to
determine which avenue I should take to resolve this remaining issue. I
did try the itools library and while everything installed nicely, most
of the tests failed so I am not particularly overjoyed with the results.
Thank you Dinesh for the vote of sympathy. I do appreciate it.
I did use Adobe Reader to convert the history PDF file into a text file
and it did seem to do it faithfully. So now I will work out a parsing
function to extract my data and send it to a SQLLITE database.
I am thrilled both with the number of suggestions I have received from
this group and the quality of the suggestions.
Thanks again,
Robert Berman

Hi Robert,
pdftotext is part of poppler-utils, an Ubuntu package which can be installed
like so:
sudo aptitude install poppler-utils
But I to would be interested in finding a python library/module for this.
Regards,
Dayo
