A PDF is an output file meant for viewing or printing. Trying to pull it apart to get at the content is technically feasible (there are desktop utilities that can do it) but I don't think you will have too much luck finding PHP code to do it. I think that it makes more sense to re-examine why you want to do this and look for an easier alternative.

There are a few out there, but I've never been able to get them to work properly.

Perhaps you'll have more success.
