Reading a pdf

[cgrulke]

Hello all,

I would like to have my app be able to read an uploaded pdf and extract specific pieces of data from the text and save those pieces of data to the db.

I already have the functionality to get the page count.

Does anybody have any tips or suggestions before I embark on figuring this out?
