How to extract whole text from a PDF file with the PDF widget?

[Paul Dupuis]

There must be an undocumented property for the text of a page - there 
was a function to return the full text of a page in the External (XPDF) 
and to get the full text of the PDF file, you just stepped through the 
pages (1..N) getting and concatenating the page text.

Monte? LC 10.0.0 Dictionary does not list a property for the page text.
