SPUG: PS/PDF parsing

Are there any modules that do parsing of Postscript/PDF files?
I looked on CPAN and found lots that output Postscript or PDF,
but none that do parsing, outside of the little bit necessary
to add a stamp or cut marks to each page.

Context of the question: Someone in my office was looking for a
PS-to-HTML converter.  There are a couple PS-to-text converters
(using Ghostscript under the hood), but those strip most of the
layout and formatting info that would be useful for conversion
to something richer than plaintext.
