is there anyway to give your cocoa app the capability to extract text from already existing pdfs? strip out all the pdf related/embedded info and just get the human readable text out?

i'd really like to be able to give my app the capability to do this and i haven't got a clue where to start.

Check out http://www.metaobject.com/

There's a product there called "TextLightning", which converts .pdf to .rtf. I'd suggest talking to Marcel Weiher about what you're trying to do.
