pdf2txt

[B P]

Is there a way via Python or even Perl to capture records from a pdf and 
     output a delimited text file?  My work has a situation with a trunk 
load of data forms that were scanned as pdfs.

The data needs to be taken from the forms and moved into a database, so 
I figure that comma-delimited format will work fine.  The amount of 
man-hours it would take to manually do this is very cost-prohibitive for 
what we have to work with.

I know that a txt2pdf exists, was checking to see if the opposite would 
as well.
