I may need to extract text from a fair number of PDFs (hundreds). I can find all sorts of third-party tools to do that, many of them free and easy to use, but I'd prefer to integrate this step into some other things I need to do with the files.

The format isn't as simple as Word or docx, though. I'm not even sure if we have support in LC for the compression used in the text streams. Lots of parts there.

Anyone here have a library or external for extracting text from PDFs? Ideally a good solution would be available for Win, Mac, and Linux.

TIA -
