[TriLUG] PDF to text

Anyone know of a command line utility for extracting text from a pdf
file, other than the one included in xpdf (pdftotext)? pdftotext does
exactly what I want, but I would like to avoid pulling in the rest of
xpdf, if possible, as this is for a server.

BTW, I'm using it combined with the perlfect search engine, so the text
does not need to be formatted nicely or anything.

Thanks,
Owen
