Slightly related and depending on what you want to do, an former
colleague Anjo Anjewierden (original developer of xpce) modified
xpdf to dump the information in a PDF file as XML.  He used that
to extract the text from pages, dealing with multi-column pages,
tables, page headers and footers, etc.

I have an old copy of the sources laying around.  I have little
clue how to use it or about the legal status of this code.  His
home page is here:
