  I am interested in using PopplerKit to extract text from PDF.
  I look at the headers and there is no support for that.
  It would be nice that PopplerKit offer this kind of functions,
  like extracting text from document or each page, extracting outline, etc.
 
  Actually I am porting LuceneKit, which is a search engine like
Google or Spotlight,
  because I need to search across a collectin of PDF files.
  PopplerKit just comes at the right time while I am looking for a
library to extract text from PDF.
  Since you mention searching in the blog, you could look at LuceneKit.
  http://www.dromasoftware.com/etoile/mediawiki/index.php?title=LuceneKit
  But it is designed to search across document.
  If you just want to search within a document, it may be overkill.
