Hello Yui, We use an executable called pdftotext.exe to extract text from pdf's. You can find it here: -> http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html Although we use it from the command line, I'd guess that it can be used satisfactorily with exec() within a PHP script, also.

For the latter you can use the FDFToolkit from adobe.
