Does anyone know a way to batch extract all the alternative (or actual) text in a PDF file?  Could this be done using a custom Javascript maybe?  Thanks!

      Extracting the actual text can be done using a script that iterates over all the words in all the pages of the file, or just saves the file as a plain-text file...

      I don't know of a way of extracting alternative text using a script. It might be possible with a plugin, though.
