SPUG: PDF to HTML, or PDF extract

[Richard Wood]

It is true that the searches for PDF on the internet
and in places like CPAN bring up many hits.  But in
reading through their documentation, it appears that
most (all that I have found) only do things like 

is_pdf: verify that a file is a pdf file
pdf_version: get the pdf version
pdf_pages: how many pages

but nothing to really do an extract, at least not that
I read from the doc on the web.  

I will pull down the module and see if there is more
there than what is documented.  There is a reference
to a method called "doprint" which sounds like it may
have some power.
