Hello Mary, It just so happens there is a company in the area named Snowtide Informatics offering a product called PDFTextStream that I think does exactly what you want! The product website is located here: http://snowtide.com/PDFTextStream They offer a trial version of the software so you can try it out to see if it works for you.
