He means to say there are many free or cheap programs which convert each 
PDF page into plain text files.  You can then use string-processing 
techniques to break these up and pull out the facts you need.

ReportLab's open source code doesn't do this.  Our commercial products 
do, but we'd have to charge for this and to be honest it's pretty easy.
