Probably no use to you Richard as I believe this is for personal use only as
it requires PDF2RTFService from Devon Systems:

So in Rev:
launch tFileName with "/yourHD/Applications/TextEdit.app"
the 8 line AppleScript looks like this:
1 tell application "TextEdit"
2 set theText to the text of document 1
3 make new document
4 set the path of document 1 to "/yourHD/Users/Shared/Untitled1.txt"
5 save document 1
6 close document 1
7 close document 1
8 end tell
Wonderful! That's actually exactly what I need, as this is just a
one-time tool for internal use only to help me build a textual index of
a collection PDF files. Thank you for the help -- much appreciated.
I should also thank Tom McGrath, who kindly sent me a fully functional
Automator action to do that too. It runs well but only in Leopard, and
it simplifies what I need to do to be able to generate the paths
dynamically in Rev, so the AppleScript solution is a better fit for this
task. Just the same, Tom I very much appreciate your taking the time to
put that together. You've always been such a very helpful member of
this community.
