Greetings.

In Linux (at least in Debian) there is a program named "extract" who 
extracts text from .pdf and .ps files. This program uses a dynamic 
library (libextractor) and your program can use it dynamically without any 
problem. 

The only restriction is about linking against static libraries. You can link 
commercial software against dynamic libs at will (as you will not be 
using the libs code, but only the libs calls). 

Ric.
