Subject: Re: PDF Library - Reading the PDF Document .. and sort of [ANN] rpdf2txt

As a matter of fact there is a pure-ruby PDF-reading library.
Unfortunately I have not had the time to document it properly, but here
it is anyway: 

http://download.ywesee.com/rpdf2txt/rpdf2txt-1.0.tar.bz2
http://scm.ywesee.com/?p=rpdf2txt

glad to answer any questions you might have, eager to get your Feedback.

cheers
Hannes
