Active X control quiestion

[Alexengland1]

Is there an active X control that can be used to convert .PDF files to .TXT or .DOC? We recieve info via PDF files, and we want to programatically convert them and pull useful data out of them. If anyone can tell me where we can find some freeware or something to do this, that would be great.

Thanks,
Alex
