I found what appears to be a text/html extraction utility for PDFs that is installed with Adobe Reader called "acrotextextractor.exe". Cannot find any information on this tool but was hoping it could be used from a command line to extract data from a PDF.

 

Does anyone know how to use this tool?

To put it another way - Acrobat Reader includes many tools but none are documented or intended for programmer use.
