Unfortunately the text you get from Acrobat, or most other 
transformations on PDF, won't guarantee any particular order of the 
elements. This will make pasing difficult, but if all your documents are 
similar you may get enough similarity from a text (not, IIRC, rich text) 
file from Acrobat.

For extra marks you can use Acrobat's automation interfaces to actually 
convert the PDFs. Good luck!
