Thanks for your reply!

 

I found that by opening a pdf file with Mozilla Firefox and inspecting it with the developer tools you can collect its text (with the help of JavaScript) after the web browser has converted it to HTML and maybe save it for further processing with someone programming language.

Not in the free Reader, no. Acrobat has more advanced editing tools, of course, although not quite the same as the Developer Tools you have in a browser. It also depends on what type of "object" you want to locate.

    If it's only text you're interested in then JS (in Acrobat) can do it.
