IIRC they based their tool on a commonly available GPL command line
tool that does this. If you use google you can probably find it.
There are also similar tools for PostScript.

is there anyway to give your cocoa app the capability to extract text

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.
