Ok, I thought maybe this would be simple, but it seems that all the Perl modules do is write, edit, and read *properties* of pdf files, not the actual content, though I could be missing something.

What I essentially want to be able to do is "grep" a pdf file for a line containing a certain word, and print that line if it matches.

I've downloaded several pdf modules and looked through the documentation, but nothing has jumped out at me.

Just a pointer or push in the right direction would be most helpful.
