PDF Reader extracts text from PDF Files

PDF Reader supports PDF versions up to 1.7, including AcroForms (aka FDF), and is written as a PHP 5 class tree. It returns raw text as an array of strings or form fields as an associative array of key/value pairs. PDF Reader does not support signed or encrypted PDFs. John M.
