in reply to Converting Text from PDF using CAM::PDF

If you can't get CAM::PDF to work, then try xpdf. It has the pdftotext utility. I tried it on your file, and it worked: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

open (FILE, "pdftotext -f 1 /root/Desktop/urfile.pdf - |");
my $file = <FILE>;
print "$file\n";

close FILE;

    Yes, I am aware of pdftotext...I was really hoping that it was in perl. I always believe that perl have modules for everything and they work, u never have to go outside of it.

    Thanks so much.
