Hi Maneesh,

Doing it in Python way is not going to be easy. Just follow the discussion here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-May/002056.html

If I were you, I would do the following.
1) On Linux, I would have pdf2txt as the pre-requisite , run pdf2txt
and parse the txt output.
2) On Windows, I would install cygwin and follow step 1.
