http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/features.html, which on pypi is described as:-

extraction, etc

PDFNet SDK is an amazingly comprehensive, high-quality PDF developer 
toolkit for working with PDF files at all levels. Using the PDFNet PDF 
library, developers can create powerful PDF solutions and applications

Vasudev Ram I know does a lot of work with PDF so a further search 
throws up articles on using his code, including some recipes on Activestate.
