Can anybody lead me in a direction that would enable me to extract text from
a PDF or EPS file?
You are going to need a 3rd party application/OSAX to do this
for you - one that know about the gory details of PDF and/or EPS.
The formats are both complex and involve compression and other types
of filtering - not to mention that text is not necessarily in read
order.
Try Ghostscript <
