extracting text from PDF file

[bob findlay]

I'm trying to extract some relevant text from a PDF file in a semi automated 
fashion.

I've stumbled across the pdftotext utility on my Red Hat box.

When I run it fails saying that

	"copying text from this document is not allowed".

If I run pdfinfo on the file I see that encryption is enabled.

Am I SOL or are there any bright ideas?
