Is there a way to *read* in a PDF file from PHP?
Any combination of technologies is fine, as long as I can get the contents (human readable, not binary) into a string or array.
Thanks!

quick google and all I could find was several ways to create pdf's using php but nothing to come back using php.
the only things I found where
http://www.eprintdriver.com/
and
http://www.digitalriver.com/v2.0-img/op ... 30520.html
which are stand alone programs that have nothing to do with php.

Ghostscript converts PDF to PostScript - doesn't look like converts it into ASCII or the like.
Adobe Reader 7 offers PDF to ASCII conversion and is available for Linux.
