I'd greatly appreciate it :)
See, I can't use pdftotext since I have several thousands of PDFs to be
processed in a short amount of time... I think invoking pdftotext for each
file would be pretty slow... by the way, the pdf files are _not_ in the
filesystem, the whole stuff is located in a DB (ZopeDB), so I have some
kind of data objects rather then real files...
