I've used htdig (htdig.org). However, the htdig product itself doesn't
read the PDF. Instead, that is done with a separate tool called
PDF2HTML or something like that. It is a perl script. I'm not sure if
it can be used in conjunction with other search engines, but may be
worth a look, or could lead you on to something else.
