extracting text from PDF file

It is one of the NBIB pressure valve certification pdf's that can be had at:

http://nationalboard.org/Redbook/redbook.html

unfortunately you have to go via Gatesware to get them (self extracting 
exe).

Are you able to disclose the document that you are trying to convert? I
wonder if Redhat hasn't disabled some functionality in pdftotext. I use
the app all the time to view pdf attachments on my console. To test
again, I downloaded a random pdf document and it worked very well. 

I would be interested to see if there are documents that are internally
limited or if this is something imposed by Redhat.
