I have some code that can extract a text string from a pdf using vba, not sure how much modification would need to convert to vbs. Also, requires MS-Word as the code converts the pdf to a word document and then uses vba automation to search the file in word. In general, because the information I am looking for is on a particular page, I use a program called pdftk to extract the page in order to speed up the process as more pages to search through take longer. Let me know if you would like me to post the code.

Probably would suggest an internet search for that. Otherwise, the code I use perhaps can be further modified to save as txt instead of to docx
If you have full acrobat, see if post #2 can be adapted for your situation
