Does anyone happen to know how to read with AppleScript the text

Roger--
Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm not sure how to use it.
That link led to a page of file names with brief descriptions. I
picked "xpdf-tools-3.dmg" as it seemed to be the only one concerned
with converting from pdf to txt.
I downloaded it and double-clicked on the "package", which launched
the installer. I allowed it to install.
Now what? I cannot find any files resulting from the install. I'm
not sure what I was expecting -- maybe an application or an osax --
but nothing called "pdf" seems to have shown up.
Can you please help me identify this animal?
