Hi, I tried the following cases : 
  use PDF::Extract;
 $pdf=new PDF::Extract;
 $pdf->servePDFExtract( PDFDoc=>"c:/Docs/my.pdf",     PDFPages=>"1-3 3
+1-36" );

[download]
 use PDF::Extract;
 $pdf = new PDF::Extract( PDFDoc=>'C:/my.pdf' );
 $pdf->getPDFExtract( PDFPages=>$PDFPages );
 print "Content-Type text/plain\n\n<xmp>",  $pdf->getVars("PDFExtract"
+);
 print $pdf->getVars("PDFError");
 
 or 
 
 # Extract and save, in the current directory,  all the pages in a pdf
+ document
use PDF::Extract;
$pdf=new PDF::Extract( PDFDoc=>"test.pdf");
$i=1;
$i++ while ( $pdf->savePDFExtract( PDFPages=>$i ) );

[download]


However in all the above cases I am getting the same output which I gave in my problem statement .
I am just unable to retrieve the pdf contents in text form . I am thankful for bearing me and giving me valuable advices. But since I am working on a plugin which need pdf to be converted in htm using perl script , I hope to get some more help from a great and perl expert like you . Please let me know on how I can get the output to html form . Thankyou !
