arunmep, if i understood your question correctly, this may help you. Also take a look at CAM::PDF. Your question is not clear, you frame the question such a way, it should have input, required output and the coding you tried, so that it will be easy for monks to answer exactly else you will get only answers in assumption.

use CAM::PDF;
    
my $self = CAM::PDF::->new('test.pdf'); 
for (1..$self->{'PageCount'} )#total no of pages
{

$pages = $self->getPageText($_) ;
push (@text, $pages);#push the extracted text into an array

}

Updated: Added ->{'PageCount'}. Thanks svenXY.
