convert PDF to TXT

I need to convert a number of documents from the internet from PDF into TXT files… I need a script to get this done as automatically as possible. I think this can be done in two stages….. • First point the script to where the PDF is and get the PDF saved on the hard disc. • Secondly convert the PDF file on the hard disc from PDF to TXT. Must be a simple script to run and adapt, the idea is to convert all speeches of the UN in .txt, see [login to view URL] for example [login to view URL] If possible the script could run through all the speeches and get them converted; otherwise manually we will point the script to the PDF which need to be converted. Also if you have better ideas / alternative ways let me know this is for a hobby project, noncommercial can pay $25-$35 for this
