Graham, the other alternative is to work with the PDF file on a binary level (I'm working on something like that right now for importing PSD files). After a quick glance at the PDF specification it looks like a bunch of it is in plain text so it might actually be easier to work with it that way. Are you looking at just extracting the images? Or other relevant parts of the PDF? The reason I ask is that it looks like binary data is always contained between two lines: "stream" and "endstream", so extracting just the streaming data should be pretty quick to do; although the next step would be going to read the bytes of what was extracted and then determine if it's an image or some other thing that had to be represented with a "stream" in the PDF...
