Hmmmm. It depends. PDF is sort of a catch-all format,
various formats mixed together. You can have text
represented as text, in which case it is relatively
easy to "decode" into plain text ... or you could have
a bitmap, which could be a line drawing or an _image
of text_ in which case nothing short of OCR will do.
