If you are interested in the text, I'd use ghostscript pdf2text (you may
invoke it from inside python).

Actually extracting text from a PDF is rather difficult. It's a
"presentation" format (or "display" format); every word in the document
might be absolutely positioned, there is no paragraph structure you can
rely on.
