I know of a commercial library (about $100) that can read (as well as
create) PDF files.  It comes in both standard Windows DLL and ActiveX
DLL versions, usable with Ruby Win32API and Win32OLE, respectively.

Hello,

I'm fairly new to the Ruby scene.
Is there any library that can read MS Word (.doc) files and extract the
pure
text...what about libs for PDF files?

Thanks folks,

M.
