Do you already know in what way text is coded in PDFs ?

I suppose this can be very complicated.

  - finding the areas in the file that in fact contain text
  - using the appropriate decompression (AFAIK, PDFs can )
  - finding out the code (such as ANSIxxx, UTF-8, UTF16, or whatever) 
the text is stored in.
