I did try both of those .. without success.
I got a pdf I've created with openoffice and pdftotext is able to extract text from it, whereas CAM::PDF (or File::Extract::PDF) gives me messy characters.
[jerome@saab pdf]$ getpdftext.pl -v ~/faxTaxHabitation2005.pdf
! " # $
% # & ' (
" ) *
+ + +
...
And pdftotext:
[jerome@saab pdf]$ pdftotext ~/faxTaxHabitation2005.pdf txt
[jerome@saab pdf]$ tail txt
Merci de bien vouloir me confirmer ces informations par retour de fax
+afin que je puisse proceder au paiment le plus rapidement possible au
+ numero suivant : *************
Cordiales salutations.
...
The ideal would be a perl module linked to the xpdf C code .. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
