Hey Jan,
It's also available from Macports.
sudo port -v install pdfgrep
I tried it out, and it works nicely.
The most potent argument for using this instead of ASObjC or Smile is that it preserves the layout of the PDF better.
It's based on the xPDF library which preserves the layout better than anything else I've tried to date.
That can be most helpful (or even vital) when parsing the converted text.
Thanks for giving me the boost to install it.

Take Care,
Chris
