   There's XPDF:   
      
   http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/   
      
     It's rather big - nearly 500 KB, but   
   it's open source, free to use and ship, and   
   it provides a command line interface   
   that will convert a given PDF to text file.   
   It's very easy to use, just:   
   pdftotext sourcePath, DestTextFilePath
