I'd like to know this too, as it may help making sending info a lot easier. Thanks!

By read do you mean read in the text content within the pdf file? That is, read the pdf file as if it were a text file? The question may sound obvious but I just want to clarify.

PDF from php.net

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php

edit: there are some good code examples at the bottom of that page.

thanks Jake, I have found a very interesting link about xpdf package on linux. This package has a tool called pdftotext, and it seems to work fine.
