Extracting text from PDF

[Thomas McGrath III]

In Automator 2.0.1(156) there is a whole section for PDFs. The one in  
question is "Extract PDF Text"

I am using 10.5.2

Which makes me ask if it is possible to create an automator in 10.5  
and use it in 10.4 ???
I never tried this before. Tell me what you want and maybe we can try  
it.

Tom
