Hi All,

I want to convert a PDF file to plain text so that I can
parse out some information from the content.  That is to
say, I want to dump any images and formatting, and just
extract the content.

I looked on CPAN and found PDF.  As far as I can tell, I
would need to use PDF::Core.  The examples give:

use PDF::Core;

$pdf=PDF::Core-> new ;
$pdf=PDF-> new(filename);

$res= $pdf-> GetObject($ref);

but I don't see where '$ref' comes from nor how to get
GetObject to traverse the entire document.

Could somebody please give me some pointers here.

I think I see how to distinguish content from other
stuff; just use something like:

if ($res =~ m/^\(.*\)$/)
{
     my $string = UnQuoteString($res);
     print "$string\n";
}

Many thanks,
Martin
